The Love Trap by Nicole French

Part IV

Quatrain

“Broken Rule”

Didn’t you say once,

we were two of a kind,

In spite of our differences,

body and mind?

Yet you argue this joy

Bordered too much on rough,

And that I should know love

Isn’t always enough.

What

Utter

Bullshit.

I don’t need rhymes to say what’s on my mind.

Fuck this meter.

Fuck every rule.

The truth is, I’ll always come home to you.
