Allowing a Love to Die
Bonus / Deleted Poem #2
It remained in the collection right up until just before the final decision.
I thought the book was big enough. Less is more. Right?
Head off at the pass
There’s little
To draw from
A trickle
Once a tenacious flow
Now bare moisture on rocks
Passion monochrome
Deflated
Sucking in air
Suffocating fish gasps.
Inevitability laden
It all ends
Though remains unexpected
Sharp revelations
Rejection
Dismissal
The lover who finally
Called it void
When optimism kept you breathing.
Betrayal is often obvious
(For the discerning)
Therefore self-sacrifice
Is the ultimate victor
