Know me,
If you can.
Attempt to label me,
Like any other man.
Toss your head,
And laugh,
Like you really understand.
Come on, girl,
I’m sure you know the scam.
What’s it been for you?
Has it been three or four?
You’re really quite the socialite,
Making your money through divorce.
You know it’s true ,
That I see through your tour de force,
And my regard for you is quite small,
When trashing men’s lives,
Is your newest blood sport.
You’ve done all that you can to disguise,
But you know it’s really pretty easy to see,
That despite your flair and panache,
You still have to hide those ugly crow’s feet.
So soak, and cream,
And electrolocize,
Then whimper and scream,
And fantasize,
That this will go on forever.
What do you want;
A Lamborghini for Sunday drives?
Or shall we have breakfast with the Dalai Lama,
Just after the Katmandu sunrise?
But for me,
What will you bring to the table?
What if I just want tea on the deck,
And a lazy afternoon playing scrabble?
Yes, I’m getting older,
And a lot more boring,
I suppose,
And no is what I’d have to say,
To going shopping with you for clothes.
So, is it possible for you to understand,
What life with you must be?
Getting older, getting sadder,
I can’t comprehend how you just can’t see.
For of this wonderful life,
There is but one,
And you’re really not all that much fun,
And you can do whatever it is that you do,
But for me, let’s just say
That I’m done.
Yes it is sad. There is so much more to life. As one who battled cancer and come through, I've come to appreciate that there is so much to be grateful for. All those superfical trappings in life are meaningless in comparison to what really counts - in my opinion, love.
I've really enjoyed all that I've read in your den. Thanks for sharing your talent.

My warmest regards,
