the promise of forever, shattered
scattered casualties of war
abandoning what mattered most
left and broken on the floor
the queen of hearts, assured, bid high
the king had planned, bid low
too soon the lonely of goodbye
though neither wanted to let go
the joker, with an ace in sleeve
a force waiting to be shown
they all, just broken shards of me
gathered and assembled from the floor
mixed and matched emotions
tattered sense of what will be
a crewless ship upon life's ocean
a vessel tossed out on the sea
longing for a love that might have been
on the distant peaks of Windemere
a tattoo penetrated on my skin
for a love that never disappears
