An open wound


We have watched
As this love affair simply died;
No marching band to mark
It’s passing
Nor bombardment
To obliterate.

Yet what we are left with
Are tender ruins.

Remnants of the delicate battle
Fought
With good grace.

And a war wound
Which cannot heal whilst
We continue to occupy
Each others space.
