Suitcase

What I was left with when you left with the rest of my life.

You left me all alone,
thinking you were taking everything
except what I could fit,
jammed into an old bag,
with a tricky zipper and a worn handle.

You took everything
except one old suitcase,
bulging at the seams with memories.

I will unpack it and rebuild
my life from thoughts
and jumbled visions
of the past.
