A Nonet

Perhaps it was foolish to gift you

The parts of me I treasured most

They are tainted now with rust

A machine that faltered

From where we once were

Forged together

Dismantled

Back to

Dust

    This is so relatable, It’s so hard to shake off that rust! I certainly will never let another person do this to me. Very well written!

  • Dismantled back to dust, I especially loved that!
