April Poem-A-Day Challenge
Today's Prompt:
Today's prompt is to take a line of my choosing and incorporate it into your poem in some way. You can use the line as the title of your poem, as the last line, as the first line, or even drop it somewhere in the middle--but you must use the line somewhere. And a special note to you "rule benders": No, you cannot break up the line into individual words or phrases. The whole line must be used, though you can definitely insert a linebreak or two if you wish.
So, what's the line anyway? It is: There is no connection.
Goodbye
Between you and I
there is no connection,
no enduring bond,
no point of intersection.
Separate directions,
our paths have been split.
Together no more,
at the end, this is it.
We just do not fit,
there is no use pretending.
Don't lie to yourself,
you knew that this was ending.
I'm sick of defending
each choice that I make.
Can't stand any more,
I've had all I can take.
I'm not sorry to break
it to you in this way.
My mind is made up.
Now just please go away.
