New Rule
A Break-Up Nonet
Do not touch me ever again. No.
Not once in either of our lives.
Do not wrap my hands in yours.
Even if I am dead -
do not come to kiss
my cold forehead.
Do not
touch.
I hope you liked this poem. Please let me know what you thought in the comments!
Here is another negative nonet, if you're into that kind of thing: Some things are easier than others
