Not

So dear to me dear you get words in a box Afraid of me fear of me fear you should not Love for you to prove to me that love it is not Forget me if you wish but forget you I will not Not even close I will not close this wound Not for you I shall heal nor shall I reveal Not the tears and their salt albeit my fault Not one time did I beg you but beg I do now Stay by my heart by my heart you will not Again see neglect for neglect I will not Let my pain cause us pain for if it were not For you babe I am lost beyond lost Not in one life could ever one find Not again such a gem or again such a prize Not a day since we met have I met with regret Not willing to lose you will lose me my mind

Wow, Patrick. This is a great poem. I love the way it is laid out. Amazing to me that it is free verse. It should be a new poetry form. Very inventive. Very cool!

Ty Maureen! Trying to save an important friendship that feels ... over. I really appreciate your kind words. I'm a sloppy writer but hopefully she likes it.
