Returned

I found what you left me, today.
It stared at me.
I blinked back.

I found what you left me, today.
Memories encased.
Gold facets worn.

I found what you left me, today.
Plunged deep,
square in my back.

I found what you left me, today.
It slapped me,
heartless and torn.

I found what you left me, today.
And I cried.
