I found someone
Who looks the same
Talks the same
Moves the same
Way we did
when to all
Intent and purpose
We were kids
I found a girl
Who drinks the same
Way you did
Before our tracks
Our train and lack
Of love - grown faint
Drew your charm to change
I'm blinded by insistent prints
Potatoes carved with images
Of memories gone, past
The last of which
Depicts in-sit
Your vulpine form
Arranged at slant
Across a restaurant bench
And can't become
Or bring myself
To want much more
than that
What I have
Most men would die for
Heart, warm home
Respondent call
To touch and love
Respite
Yet I found someone
Who seems just like you
Reads just like you
Listens like you
Even though
You've ceased to share
A life with me
At all
I found a girl
Who dresses like you
Messes like you
Confessed like you
That there was
A certain spark
Which may
Or not
Be there
