    Monday at Aldi
    I saw her the other day
    Smiling with her new man
    Walking hand in hand.
    I try to pretend
    It was the groceries
    Causing her not to notice me.

    Love, no more.
    If it was only that easy,
    Like a switch i could turn
    Then no longer feel,
    Escape the down side.
    Aldi has shown me
    I still love her.

    Midnight conversations,
    Lasting till dawn.
    Holding hands on her futon,
    Ignoring everything else going on.
    I was her mountain of a man
    and she moved me to tears.

    "I was her mountain of a man and she moved me to tears." — beautiful, simple beautiful! Your honesty and humbleness is a blessing to this site.

    This seems forced. The last section should be deleted imo. I understand where you are trying to go but the extra stuff takes away from the message.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
