Sorry, but it seems pointlessly puerile to me, and the guillotine does more than close. I just think there must be a better way of saying we were not right for each other.

[Samith Pich]

nice switcheroo in the end.

I liked 'another moment
of ishoudhaveknownbetter'

putting it all as one word says alot

I guess it all depends on what he was really looking for in the first place. :)

Wise ending to the poem. Some people are never content and they get what they deserve. Thank you Jennie for sharing the excellent poetry.

The last stanza really packs a punch. There is so much to be said about what has gone unsaid between the lines. Heartbreaking artistry. Makes me hope to see a smile again soon.

i like what the last three lines pose...

and that guillotine idea...sometimes our love becomes a severed head...
