How I killed love – an acrostic poem

Standard

How I killed love

Pictures hanging on the black walls

Hot-blooded ghost, chocked in a bottle

Oak chestnut, your color in death

Triggered my gun, wobbly, my fingers

Olive your blood, spilled on my mirror

Graceful surrender, I lowered my head

Rickety, like the snake that rattles

Another day has now gone by

Perhaps, my darling, you don’t know

How it was that I killed love
