Fish Fingers

I can never forget the way

my fingers looked that day

when I wrote you a letter

and left it on your desk.

I can never forget the way

my fingers looked that day

when I turned the doorknob

and saw her watching you sleep.

I can never forget the way

my fingers looked that day

when I took the ring off my finger

and flung it across the room.

I can never forget the way

my fingers looked that day

as they examined the cracked mirror

and touched so many lives.

I can never forget the way

my fingers looked that day

when I caressed your body

till you clenched in ecstasy.

I can never forget the way

my fingers looked that day

when I wrapped them around your neck

and breathed my last.
