you left me with only vowels
just u and i
with nothing in between
just u and i
parts of the alphabet
with nothing to grab onto
no dangling modifiers
to stretch out their limbs
not even a preposition
to bring us together
i wanted to give you words like love and hold me
but you didn't want my fragmented phrases
'we are broken metaphors, heavy with bad grammar'
(was all you had to say)
all i ever asked for was a subject and a verb.
