Free verse № 53818
the nature of our stillborn
I shudder now at the sounds of the possibilities that
live to surround and ultimately limit me
Temporality versus periphery, or simply just the enemy
My intentions were never to love or be clever
in the face of such an instance
it was love that was happily severed
Don't smile and laugh, it's distance
I loved you so much I could never, I can never fucking admit this
these crimes and stabbings so poingant, we could hold them and call it resistance

"Don't smile and laugh, it's distance" - comes off as a concession to rhyme.
btw, as to the content (versus the form) - the message is that you were almost certainly trying to both love *and* be clever. At least to be clever.
I want to give this a nine, but that list bit keeps me from it.
