How do you tell someone you don't love them, in 50 words or less

LizardBallou in Poetry & Free Verse

Don’t Breathe

The wound

Could heal,

But

The knife

In your

Mouth

Is too heavy.

You hide the blade

Behind a smile,

But you know

That

Though you

Have not slipped

The blade

Into their

Heart,

You are still

Killing them

With

Your

Every

Single

Breath.
