We were all aloneHe was lying prone
and his eyes were closed,
My Dear
and he wore a suit
and he looked like you
My Dear
But I knew it wasn't you
He looked like you but didn't sigh like you
or smile like you
No twinkle in his eye
He didn't even lie
like you
would lie
And his hands were clasped
Nothing in their grasp
My Dear
You were nowhere to be seen
Left me in my time of need
My Dear
which you will always be
forgiven for,
but not forgot
And you will always be
invincible, irascible
invisible, erasable
