Loves garden

I walk in my garden
Among the clutter
Littered in tombstones
Of loves
From yesterdays desires

As I step cautiously
Lest I disturb
Buried memories
Or trip
And fall
Among the broken hearts

My boots
Muddied
With sullied tears
My clothing torn
From the thorns
Of loves discarded roses

Leaving the garden
I close the rusted gate
Broken on hinge and latch
Hoping never to return
Never to be again
Yet I know deep down I will
