November PAD Chapbook Challenge
Today is the second Two-for-Tuesday and the prompts are:
- Write a love poem, and/or…
- Write an anti-love poem.
Discarded Hearts
Though I feel dread
disgust, palpable
purposelessness
he rests beside me
being, breathing
Though I no longer want to try
no longer see the point of effort
no longer cling to hope or promise
he is near, calm, is not repelled
Though I cannot
muster meaning
for going through
motions toward
more rejection
he accepts my
presence as
preferred
