Poem: Archaeology

Archaeology

Sifting through the remains of our tenderness,

I am perplexed at the depth of my despair

My heart is a broken shard, tossed aside

In your eagerness to please another

While I,

I sit in the middens of our love

Hoping to discover the secret to eternity

And the reason you tore my gentle soul asunder

To fly uncaring into another’s lofty citadel,

Leaving me down here

Alone

And incomplete
