This final death

is just for you

By Raymond G. TaylorPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
Detail from video capture of Amy Winehouse performing Back to Black

When you went back to that soft warm place,

Her embrace, her certain welcome.

When we said that first goodbye,

I died a hundred times.

Do you know that it's

Only for you

I die this

Final

Death?
