love has left
definition lost
a thousand sparkly whispered nothings
all wrapped with hugs
all with eye catching eye
all now in the past
all now standing at the back of the queue
how many times can a broken thing be
lifted, repaired, resolved, renewed
how many?
I do not know
the number or the edge of end
but,
I awoke one day
and was told, it is no longer
told, with words, that this living spirit
had been removed
as if a truck arrived
packed it away, drove off
done and dusted in one day
a thing an object from e-bay
returned
returned to where?
I wonder
I imagine her living free
under protective custody
among tall pine trees
in another life, another land
love has left
a void in me
