I Think
by Cassie Walters
Whenever I make love,
I think about you watching-
Wincing and shuttering
As your little girl gives herself away.
I think about your bones-
Still and cold.
I wonder how much flesh has since decayed,
And if I would recognize you.
I think about you thinking about
What you could have done differently.
I think about
What I could have done differently.
I think about that night months ago,
When you came to me and said,
“You made good choices.”
I think about that everyday.
I wear your clothes.
Your scent no longer lingers.
I think about the man
I would have died to save.
