ROSA

“She said she felt an aching,
went to lay down and died
in her room, alone
He said he tried to wake her
Oh, how he tried
but she didn’t move
And he was in the T.V. room..

Maybe on that day he loved her more than his own life
And maybe on that day he wished it was he who could have died
Maybe on that day he felt his body disappear into the space
Next to her on the bed.”
