To Not To Love

What right do I

 have to love you

when you know not

 how to show love

 

Examples set the mood

Punch-drunk motion potion

Fluidity static

Mentally imprisoned

 

Time does nothing

but creates wider boundaries

Complacency for one

Miserable other

 

Can I say, “No?”

though the day has

 yet to reveal

Itself to me?

 

Why do you have

 to see me pray

for me to want

 a better day?

 

Can I be all alone

 where no tones or

heart monitors

 can moan?

 

I don’t want to love you

There isn’t enough life

 In your love life

for me to love
