the world doesn’t need another maudlin fucking poem

i would write a poem today

but it would be an explanation
of why valentine’s day roses
smell like a funeral to my olfactory

or
it would be about love
a thousand times lost

perhaps
a few lines about never having the one your being can’t help but want

i would write a poem today

but the world doesn’t need
another maudlin fucking poem

it needs a poem about
the grand selfless act of forgiveness
and being forgiven

and now i find
in spite of myself

i wrote a love poem
