A Requiem
I hear through our tears
a litany of twisted betrayal,
your smooth wet cheek
flushed pink—salt tears
on crumpled cotton sheets.
Candle lit shadows three
A requiem vigil for two.

once broken, never fits back…
once broken, never fits back together the same way.
The title is good, it gets to the heart of the matter.
Your language use is equally so; plain, simple and unadorned.
I thought the implications were clear, the relationship is done... maybe...
