now that you've already bought the book...

poetry is rarely found on pages
it's what crawls on your skin
ink can't fully encompass its being
it is far too potent a medium for paper
it'd burn right though it like acid
it does stand up on the back of your neck
but it doesn't get reprinted in different languages
because pages can't contain its essence
it does, however, punch you in the gut
when you hear the words
i don't love you anymore
that's poetry in a nutshell
sorry - no refunds
