John Kristopher Mathis Poet Blank verse

I Don'T Love You

I do not love you and I never will 
Your face and lines read like a book from hell
You stamp out the light from the stars above
And proceed to consume the souls of love
I refuse to concede to all your whims
By grace I escaped in the knick of time

Line Gauthier August 14, 2019 at 12:06 AM We can relate to this, John. Narrowly escaping the clutches of a bad relationship. Well illustrated. John Kristopher Mathis August 14, 2019 at 2:07 AM Thank you very much for your kindness. It’s an all too familiar subject I’m afraid.
