Ruins Poem by Samantha McKinnon

Ruins



I almost convinced myself
I'd misheard him.
Except I noticed
I was staring straight into a war zone.
HIs weapon of choice:
Words, memories, knives.
Frantically, I shot back
Archived artillery of who he was and the neglect I resented.
Casings and debris
Littered everything. No progress
Just abrupt silence.
And ruin.
