April Poetry Challenge 2021: Day Fifteen

 


Day 15 Prompt: (Blank) Story

Form: Clogyrnach


“This is not a love story”


The sun is still hours away.

I am trying to keep at bay,

the memory of 

that day you let love,

like suede gloves,

start to fray.


Goodbyes start before you say them.

You can hear it, like a red drum,

during the day, off

beat, a stifled cough,

a standoff,

a hem,


when you expect to hear I love

you. Instead you feel disposed of.

The ring tight against

the knuckle. Looks tense.

Now a sense

of unloved.
