A cathode ray light frames her existence, a light in the ether, a sound in the silence, like a solitary standing stone, she sits there alone, she dreamt of the night that he left her, the pain of her sobbing, the depth of her grief, still silently loving her and never far away, he reached out his arms in the blackness, she was sure that a cold hand was touching her cheek, so hard to begin all the letting go, when you've never felt so weak, killing cliché spits he's in a better place, this telephone suffocates her last remaining grace, so little comfort in the widening of space, force-fed reminders, pulling, pushing in her face, and the fear now swells this awakening hell and shrouds her everything,
bathed in blue from the cathode tube, absorbing everything, she can barely hear softened voices near, oblivious to everything, bathed in blue from the cathode tube, absorbing everything, revolving minutes mangled moments in her head, crushing, bleaching, blurring, bleeds the triplight red, to catch the phrase that's damning, hanging by a thread, repeating out those ringing final words he said and somewhere softly spoken voices slowly soaking through, the gaudy awkward predictable words if there's anything I can do?
