pantomime

I never knew I would miss you so much
Being dead has taken its toll - I still hv 
Your last texts - and your first - how silly 

It all is - I could never really accept you 
and you knew that - and i knew that and 
that is why we met every other month - 

why you married someone more broken 
than me - why i - when i opened the door 
to my x husband the fear ran through me 

it was a moment of green lingerie - we never 
spoke of it: never will. a youthful indiscretion 
i took too seriously - it was fear simple fear 

of years of programming. he hid it too 
well - the only man in my youth i had 
had he been free - as all jazz should be 

he would have resonated your beauty 
had i been stronger - more open: i may 
have saved you - and we could be having 

lunch today 

but today it is raining
