Now For None

Author Note: Entry in Paula Swanson Contest 

It's not my fault
wrists open wide
bloodless
lifeless

I'm not to blame
I loved you true
no warning
you, ended you

You have no proof
the wounds too deep
my razor sharp
will shave no more

I will show no shame
I knew your way
you, were not for one man
you are now, for none

Very intriguing write, Mac. The last two lines are chilling. I'm not familiar with this contest, but wish you success. Love, Carolyn
