A title of his poem,
suggested title for his book
relatable more than ever.
I remembered when I first heard
the news.
All regrets of the words
I meant to say to you, but hadn’t.
The shy poet writing in her notebook
was too shy to tell the popular wrestler
how she felt in high school.
I speak them now to a Mass card
attached to a wall with your picture.
Still I can’t wrap my heart in acceptance
even though my mind knows you’re gone.
Each moment in every day I shed silent tears
invisible
know you hear them.
