absolution

I told my coworker about you today,  
in a moment of over-sharing to connect—  
the ultimate litmus test.

She passed when she said,  
"That's terrible. But Caroline,  
you couldn’t save him."

I know.  I know.  I know!  
I shouldn’t say that much,  
much less to a coworker.

But once in a while,
it's still comforting to hear  
I did all I could for you.

It's the fool I always had in me.
That fool is you.
