Powerful opening stanza, love the description in this, each line is strong on their own and extinct love, are kidding me, that was so definite, final and hopeless, gave me chills. I don’t know why this doesn’t have an overwhelming amount of views and reviews, this is probably one of the most powerful poems I have read in a while.
