As hearts tear in two
Life also tears in two
Like a photograph of a couple
Split
Half the picture discarded
So is half of my life
Discarded

I could turn inside out
And look inward at
Myself
The half that is left
And like a lizard grows
Another tail
I will grow my other half
To be whole

The conflict is not with
Who is gone
It is with myself
That remains
Still hungry for affection
Greedy for laughter
Speaking to the One
Who isn't here
