Adele Evershed
Backstory
Was I easy to be with?
Or was I a sense of movement through time
A brief unbroken scene
Not written in the present tense
So I was never really real
Standing on the rim of tomorrow
You tell me I'd make a lovely short story
How can you be so wrong?
I was always a poem—a way to hold your grief
Until you were ready to let us both go
