Why I Live Alone

I live alone in a big house

With Erin's cat, Mr. P.

When she died, two years ago,

He was an ornery fourteen.

I drive out to the cemetery

A few times a month now,

Sit on the ground by Erin's stone.

I tell Erin I love her.

She knows, but likes hearing

Me say it.  I tell her I love her

Every day, all day long.

She rolls her eyes, is gone.

I like Erin's introduction using the cat which opens up the reason for the lonliness. Her personality is there, too, through her would be responses. I liked this.
