Memory Keeper - by K.D. DeFehr
You don’t remember me
despite my being here
every evening
with your favorite tomato soup
so I hover in the doorway
until the nurse introduces us.
Sometimes you scream
and I cry because
you can’t miss me.
Stag at the altar of our life,
no partner to reminisce with,
it’s like it was me all alone all this time
no partner to reminisce with,
stag at the altar of our life.
You can’t miss me
and I cry because
sometimes you scream
until the nurse introduces us.
So I hover in the doorway
with your favorite tomato soup
every evening.
Despite my being here,
you don’t remember me.
