when words meet heartbeats

when she sat down on the

bed after her

break up and said

i should have known it would

always just be me and my dog

i wish i had

already been her age

i wish i had said

i will spend the

rest of my life

looking for you in

everyone i see

for the movement in her eyes

and her red hair pushed

back across her forehead

still remind me of a different time

i wish i had said

something along those lines

i wish people didn’t die

because of a loss of hope

a disease and loneliness

I will miss my fiery redhead
