Breaking Up On Valentine’s Day Eve (The Acrid Hint Of Almost Gone) Poem by Eila Mahima Jaipaul

Breaking Up On Valentine’s Day Eve (The Acrid Hint Of Almost Gone)

Rating: 4.3


Beneath me, your heart
lay cold against my chest
not from the accumulated chill of night
but from unwanted flesh,
now found too icy to warm it.
Almost bitterly palatable
the faint acrid hint of almost gone
hangs between us.
Drinking you in for the last time,
I told myself, without believing
that the taste of love dead
was just my imagination.
