The desire never leaves.

But what is desire alone
but a single sock,
without a match,
without a foot to carry it?
Copyright © Claire Shelton 2012

"Desire" here does not refer to all types, such as the desire to write a book or get married.
Here, I am referring to the desire left over after a relationship ends.
And how when all that's left is desire, it's nothing but a useless burden.
