Love's Detail
I remember every detail
of her, our love, our once-was life.
Beautiful, white teeth, so
Quick to show themselves,
When she laughed at
Me, my jokes, life.
The mole on her hip, the taste of her lips.
There was nothing missing,
For me, in our love.
Arguments that never happened
Quarrels that didn't exist
In our hearts or our lives
Our love sang through
The treetops of life's forest
In a joyous cacophony, drowning out all discord.
I remember every detail
Of her, our love, our once-was life.
But most of all, I remember
The void she left when she left,
Disbelief, denial, desperation,
Smothering fires of desire, a charred ruin.
I remember every detail
But one: why she left.
