Worlds Apart Poem by Professor Dr. Stanley Collymore

Your concept of love is different from mine, for with
you there’s no realization that universally accepted
civilized standards of behaviour are inherent in
any meaningful relationship let alone one that
purports to be special between two people;
and I’m fearful that you’ll never grasp
this crucial understanding of what
genuine love is all about. So
taking this into consideration I must
inform you there’s no future, and
never was, for us together; and
for your own sake it’s best
that you understand
and accept this.
