Eluardabout 17 years agoThis seems to be another poem of casual spite. "I'm breaking up with you but it's not because…" The difficulty here is that unless the poet can rise above the shallowness of the sentiments it's not really interesting to read, anymore than it would be to date her. Also the last line is metrically weak: there needs to be more syllables to make the metre and rhyme work. The last line is so weak it lets the entire thing down.
