I know you hate that corner, dear heart.
But you don't understand the problems you start.
You break so easily it's practically an art.
And when you're broken, you feel so tart.
You've just got to go. I'm just being smart.
I'll stretch out my arms and finally be able to take part
In all the fun without being scared. I'll miss you when I depart.
But it's time to go. Time for us to be apart.
I'll be back. It's not like you're something I'll just impart.
No, no. I'll come back. But it's finally time, for now, to restart.

Monorhyme is a difficult form.
I liked this one very much.

The rhymes seemed a bit forced, perhaps a little more work on this one? Thanks for entering and good luck

I have always enjoyed the monorhyme form. You made a good connection to the first picture prompt. Thank you for entering.
