The above is a poem I wrote for a class, as an exercise, but it turned into something I really liked, and so I thought I'd share it. I was writing from the emotions of a break-up, though not quite the one described in the poem.

As an aside, does anyone else do that? Sometimes things are too fresh for me to write about exactly what the problem is, so I fictionalize it.

And if you get tired of me commenting on my own poetry...well, yell at me. I'm full of comments lately, it seems.
