Out Of Love Poem by Juli Watson

I filled your well
It was out of love
I filled your shell
It was all I could
The remnants of a girl
Scattered on a platter
You performed your grim courtship dance
And I was entranced
Everything about you was so f***ing beautiful
But I didn't order a glass of cheap disappointment at the bar
You sent me dead flowers, shushed my eyes
I feel the phantom limb pain of amputated love
Remember you in salty memories
As you become someone else
