Rochelle Rochelle - Isotopes

She’s got house plants to keep her company

Bought her a goldfish — she named it after me.

We look at old photographs of lovers come and gone

I ask her if it makes her sad she said son you’ve got so much to learn

Juliette

Love the life that you have kept

Juliette

Smiling on your dying bed

Juliette

You’ve got a grace about you yet

Juliette

Smoking her last cigarette

3 is tea time, she puts on Patsy Cline

Cuts the crust off sandwiches and mentions how she don’t mind dying

Tells stories about Pearl and Earl — Best friends that she once had

We do the dishes then she says it’s time for bed

Juliette

Love the life that you have kept

Juliette

Smoking her last cigarette

We ate ice cream last night before she slept

No plans for breakfast except to read the note she left

Grey and white skies — That day was a blur for me

She made me promise not to cry, so here is a drink — I drink to thee

Love the life that you have kept
