heart: in part, broken

heart in part broken,
a brand new seam
stuck together with sticky tape,
staples, maybe a pin
in a place that used to be sound.
you refused me the grace
of an amicable parting,
where the cut was clean
and easy to stitch.
Now I am staring at rough tear,
wondering how the hell
I can even try to repair
the gaping hole you left
not by leaving,
but in leaving the words
too long unsaid.
