It's so nice
to wake up in the morning
all alone
and not have to tell somebody
you love them
when you don't love them
any more.


Request: Favorite angry at love poems? The kind where you want to say: you betrayed me, you moron, it was your fault.

Unwritten Law by Louise Gluck: http://community.livejournal.com/theysaid/1082978.html

and my ABSOLUTE favorite, which I couldn't find in the memories or in my own memories:

"Unwritten Law" by Louise Gluck

Lived to see you throwing
Me aside. That fought
Liked netted fish inside me. Saw you throbbing
In my syrups. Saw you sleep. And lived to see
That all that flushed down
The refuse. Done?
It lives in me.
You live in me. Malignant.
Love, you ever want me, don't.
