The Flaw In Nostalgia (Poetry Form 21: Epigram)

Epigrams aren’t always poems, but they often are, and usually take the form of a pithy rhyming couplet with a sting in the tail.
This one is more rueful and pensive than I intended, but it has a bit of a Dorothy Parker vibe, which I like.

The Flaw In Nostalgia

Missing your love is twice as hard to bear
Knowing that what I miss was never there.
