This Is Not A Love Poem Poem by Geof Lusins

there isn't a beautiful sunset
and you aren't standing next to me watching it
there isn't a reason to smile
and you aren't standing next to me trying too
there isn't warmth
and you aren't holding me
there isn't beauty in nature
and you know that
there isn't laughter
and you aren't laughing
There isn't a reason to wake up
and you aren't sleeping next to me
there isn't forgiveness
and I hope you know that.
