Feb. 14 - an anti-love poem... the theme is love in today's prompt.
The World has splintered
Broken open and spilled out
I am no longer the trusting soul
That once was....
Like a Komodo Dragon
Moving in after its kill,
Determined and ruthless;
The prey never sees it coming
Until it's too late.
My heart was grabbed in its jaws
As it veered off swiftly
Leaving me staggering....
And alone.
It's hard to appreciate
What was once so sweet and tender
Now it tastes like cyanide
Threatening my existence....
Gone is the connection
Only barren wastelands remain.


Lines = 19.
