Not A Love Poem

Written for Sunday's Whirligig
It was the birthday
of resentments
each move 
choking 
eroding
no take backs
no open gates here
no sparks
no dazzling smile 
for you
I pared 
my love 
to stumps
move on!
before 
i remember
where 
i hid the weapons
i
forgot
to 
say
you
can 
rot
for
all 
i
care

You sure know how to pair rotting and weapons. Proud of you.

I love the format - somehow reminded me of a sword in combination with those fierce and wonderful words.
