[email protected] I’m Not Going to Press Charges
Cf. Shakespeare, Sonnet 40
I gave her my love freely; she did not steal
It only feels that way, for she is gone
She could not steal that which she was given
And she could not possibly leave it with me
The lock is broken, my poor room is rubbished
The neighbors saw nothing, my dog didn’t bark
The unseeing eyes of any cameras are dark
Love has no receipts, no inventory, no insurance
And so, officers of love, there is no report
Except that I lost my case in a higher court
