I am splintered still;
she folds fragments.
My soul creases within
curves of smooth smiles.
Silent still, my heart beats
beyond | cracked | covenants.
They are resounding breaches —
voices flee laughter’s thumps.
Undone, my spirit detaches;
direful desolation lures me.
She was my soulmate.
All of me resides with her.
