Your Desertion

My Grief

Shoulders bowing under the weight of your absence

It’s not words I miss, it’s yours

Love me, then lose me, then leave me

Earth is shaking under my fingertips, quaking under my grief

Now I take myself apart like an instrument

Curse myself for caring

Every silence is just a reminder of your desertion
