This poem is really an enigma. I find myself wondering if this is someone speaking to their mate/partner - or looking into the mirror.
Nicely done

Whoever this person is, they are not in a good headspace.

    Poetry

    This is the section where fiction prose becomes something else. We still expect the poems to be short, though – sonnets, perhaps, or around that length at the very most.

    Poems submitted should be
    no longer than 160 words
    and contain
    no more than 16 lines.

    100 words remains the approximate target.

    Please submit using the Poetry Submissions Page.
