One Month

A Poem by Alexandra

no more kisses from you

I’m always the last person to watch people walk away
So, when you did
I made sure to engrave it in my mind

Like May 9th
When Bruno died
I was the only person willing to chase the metal table
The metal doors slammed my face and through a window
i watch them bag his lifeless body

I engraved it in my mind
I made sure that I will always remember
The earth shattering moment of when two paths divert forever
