I'M Not Sorry

Lipogram A – Free Verse – I’m Not Sorry I’m not sorry For ripping to shreds the invented future you drew Between the person I will never be Plus the person you’ve forever been. I formed by body to serve—me. Not you. Not your love. Not The style in which you disgustingly beg for connection. Me. So I’m not sorry. I felt nothing when you cried Or implored me to forgo My own mind For the hopes I’d rescue yours. I’m not concerned for yours. I hope you cry rivers until even the levees Flood in your misery. Until I’m drowned in your Self-pity. I will never be your toy. I’m not sorry. June 5, 2021 Lipogram (A) Contest – Emile Pinet
