It Was a Tuesday Night
by Meghan HelmichWhen you said I would die alone
with a needle in my arm
I cried, but
not because it was true
or that it hurt to hear you say it.
I felt the flush under those words
as I realized I'd learned this years ago
when you helped me
cinch the belt
and I knocked over that pepsi bottle
and it spilled into your spoon
and you almost hit me
out of reflex. 10/18/2011 Author's Note: I was in love.
