Minutes Later

A history of one's love.

Minutes Later

 

Days, he made me

wait for his kiss.

 

It took years for him

 to buy me diamonds.

 

Decades, it took him to

sleep in my bed, with his

parents in the next room.

 

Knots formed in my stomach the

second I decided to leave him,

 but minutes later I was just fine.

Wow, Marie, you really are the queen of the short poem!

Days,
years,
decades,
seconds,
minutes.

Life in its increments, how wonderfully done!
I'll tell you though, a minute from now...
I'm still going to like this, very much.

Love the different units of time in this poem. It really brings it all together.
That last verse really got me though, shock out of no where. Very nice, it's always good to surprise your audience.
