Incomplete

You loved her like your life depended on
it,
got gladly trapped, happily blocked
all the ways out,
gave it all again and again,
fucked up more times than you could
count.

But it ended not with a bang or a shock
to the senses,
not in any way you always thought it
would.
Instead it evaporated like the memory
of a
playa in the desert
now just alkali and
ancient dust.

Not what was done but
what was left undone.
This is what you will think about before
one day putting it on that top shelf you  
can barely reach along with the jigsaw
puzzles you could never quite
finish.
