Resist the urge to shred me
I have watched you all my life
I know your insecurities – your dog your kids your wife
I’ve seen your changing seasons
A stoic shadow without her
Gnomonic solo time lapse thought surrounded by a blur
I’ve been your silent sounding board – your cardboard confidant
I’ve mopped your tears
Propped up your beers
Been a conduit for all your fears
Now last orders ring and lights come on
But you are unmoved your light is gone
Now I am soggy and I am spent
Go ahead – shred – she is dead.
