FOR WHAT

i cried today for
all that i lost
for all that we will never be.
i thought about you today
and all the unspoken words
between us
that now lie adrift
in another time
in another space.
i cried today for all the
things that we will never be
for all the dreams that now
twist in the breeze
like an unsolved puzzle
with no one to pick up
the discarded pieces.
our lives torn so far apart
for what
and this is what they
call love?
