Conceited Love

What ills you elicit with your mordacious tongue shackled am I, while you trifle with my love. You horde my affections with a cartridge of conceit then loiter in self pity as I, wizened, exit with relief. Written on 3/28/2017

Oh, I remember this kind of love, I'm thinking it's the end of a love affair. Like you said "exit with relief" 7 for sure :)

Your poem say a lot with little wording and that is hard to do. I felt the emotional force behind these words. Emile.
