Death of Love

DEATH OF LOVE When gazing at my love-struck eyes He said "Romance gags me Marriage is a business deal Love is for weaklings" I Wasn’t dead yet When gazing at my garden He said "Plant only Food Dump Out the flowers" I Wasn’t Dead yet When gazing at the moon He said "Close all the windows Seal all the cracks it saves money" I Wasn’t dead yet" when the birdsong faded in the silence I crawled away I Wasn’t Dead Yet. 2013 Victoria Anderson-Throop

thanks for reading and commenting, bl. It is always good to hear that someone can relate to feelings expressed in a gut wrenching poem. And, it is about people not anti- male....and I think you understood that. V.
