The relationship
you so desperately seek to restore
is temporarily out of service;
unavailable due to
backorder of open mindedness

Full of unforeseen gaps & limit’d in supply

The listening ear you urgently crave
is out of the office on extended leave
& will take your call
as soon as a representative
of good judgment repents;

So until further notice. . .
please refrain from  episodes of
feeling you must vocalize accusations
as to why you feel your lover has
taken you for grant’d,
miss-understood your nature,
& discount’d your opinion;

Do you really, really need to be
sincerely popp'd upside the head
to be remind’d that in the
small-print’d details
of the handbook on
Self-Center’d Love,

page 24,
section 8A,
line 69,

that not everything
can be deliver’d as expect’d or vow’d?

However with all due respect,
we can strive for the goal that,
--pending approval of your wishes--
all personal concerns with reference
to the long-term involvement
you have deem’d from past experience
as one of THE most
stupefying liaisons in your life
can still be maintain'd in utmost confidence,
& appropriately readjust'd
according to current specifications
without any hint of deceit

nor splinter of doubt,
we promise you that in due time
your need will be address’d  
by the next available smooth operator.
