When you died I painted your nails
Long, thick
Bright cherry red, I remember
Your skin was still yours
Slowly getting colder
They asked me to leave and carried me out
I drove my car to the funeral home
Parked
Stayed all night
I wanted to be close
I didn't want you all alone
They asked me to leave in the morning
I sit on the grass above your body
I Hug it
I talk
Making sure to never step on you
Lilacs all over
Your favorite
I want to keep you company because I am all alone
