Discharge

How sad it is
to be loved by you
of all people
the one who is
flawed to perfection
solicited my heart
did not return it
after the trial period
our use by date
has passed
unnoticed
unforgivingly

The prompt for today at napowrimo.net was to write a poem that achieves sadness through simplicity. I wrote this poem a while ago but never put it on my blog. Since today is going to be a very busy day, I’m glad I can share it now.

        Oh, I’m sorry to read this! I am taking my time filling my tank at the moment, I’m doing better, but… still needing some time. Grateful for your words and presence too πŸ˜€
