you were the one // poem

XIV

I GOT ON MY KNEES

AND CRIED INTO HER

AS THE SIRENS WAILED

BEFORE THEY TOOK HER AWAY,

I SNATCHED THE NOTE

IN HER SCRATCHED UP

HANDS

AND THEN

I SAW THEM WHEEL HER

IN AN AMBULANCE

"SHES GONE."

THEY ALREADY KNEW THAT

TOO

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET

I UNCRUMPLED

THE NOTE

THE VERY LAST

THING SHE WROTE

AND IT READ:

cliffhanger!

there will be one last chapter after this!

thank you all so much for reading this it means a ton
