*after all this time
where is my heart
all the little pieces
left in shatters behind
to my lovers
and to my tears
I gave each of you a piece
some you cherished
others thrown away
so in landfills
and on mantles
I find my remanence
and as I pass
as a ghost
through my past
I see in the shards
of the memories we had
and I cry in wisps
until I am blown apart*
