A Widow

My faucet has a leak.
I can hear the reminder
Landing in my ceramic sink
I have little to silence the alarm,
But I have half a bag of stale Oreos
And a carton of freshly-expired milk.
Will someone fix it?

My roof has a leak.
I can hear the reminder
Landing on my vinyl floor
I have little to silence the alarm,
But I have a 2 liters of Minute Maid lemonade
And a brand new conversation starter.
Will someone fix it?

My eyes have a leak.
I can hear the reminder
Landing on my velveteen skirt,
I have little to silence the alarm,
But i have a pair of somewhat celibate arms
And a hole in my heart big enough for one.
Will someone fix them?
