A Name is All That is Left of You to Me


A name is all that is left of you to me.


As my world widens,

you shrink

into a word I never speak;

a number I never call.


Our story aborted

(perhaps

no ending fits?),

non-ending brings

more

confusion than

sadness;

the bitch in me

gladdens

to think of the phone

that I know

will not ring.


Facebook tells me of your doings now.


Your secret changed us anyway.

The acid tongue

that was loved became cruel;

harsh wit became

judge.

You forgot,

I think,

that I do not worship false prophets.


A simple truth:

‘A house divided cannot stand’; and so,

I cut you loose,

and swam.
