300. Poem by Jaden Knight

300.



When our love was first declared
we built a 5 bedroom house on a gigantic island
to celebrate our partnership
and for us to start a family

Much encouraged we created more
each one almost better than the last
every one built with love
and held together with respect

Together we built for years
and constructed a city for our selves
I taught you all I knew
despite learning nothing in return

I bought most of the materials
as money was no object in this case
it didn't seem to matter at the time
that you only contributed a little

but in the end I started to notice
when cracks started showing in many walls
I made to maintain them myself
as you could not be bothered

Then one day you disappeared
leaving me alone in the city
claiming you had to go
but never giving a reason

When our love was beginning
we built a city on a gigantic island
now it is crumbling in to ruins
devoid of the love and warmth
that originally brought it to life
