Demented History

You came

You saw

You conquered me

And then you left me

Like old ruins

I am what I am left

Of the glorious past in your love

An artifact of your ancient time

The holy verses of our love

Are written all over the walls

Of my decrepit being

Falling apart

Like an old heritage building

Below your proud, majestic abode

People visit me now

Study me

Research me

Photograph me

Preserve me

With uneven patches of modern cement

Write about me

In glorified inscriptions

And send me like a postcard

None of which ever reaches you

I am the significant part

Of your demented history
