trinkets (terza rima)

the trinkets on my shelf,
all the things i kept
belong to someone else.

(i stole them when you left.)
they are not mine.
you left me bereft.

i thought that, with time,
the ache would fade.
i was inclined

to believe that things would change.
they did not.
things stayed the same

and i knew you forgot
the promises you brought.
