Worn

The days have worn away,
Just like my old garments.

Echoes

Echoes of his pretensions,
Resound through the corridors.

Mending

I have mended my dress many times,
But I cannot mend my heart.

Betrayal

Only returned unopened letters remain.
This is evidence of the betrayal,
And you departed without
One single word. It hurts!

Reminders

Dead flowers still in vases,
And your letters are preserved.

Memories

Haunting memories prevail,
Well into the night.

My family

My family comes to
Feast upon me once per year
Just like carrion.
