This poem should have been written long ago. It's a summary of bad events in relationships.
Neglected And disrespected Left for far too long Alone, enveloped in my pouty silence Parched for a drink of your charms You arrive in a cloud of strong cologne To cover some other woman Your essence stinks of faithlessness Your love the strength of a flimsy mist Left with empty arms My heart growing achingly cold My simmering anger a fuse burning This barren house is all yours Live here at your own risk Starvation is possible If you�re relying on your love To carry you through

Tour de force comes to mind. What a beautiful job you have done of
making us see and hear and smell the b**d. Feel the emptiness of the house and the danger he is in! If only of having to live with himself!! Fabulous! {Speaking of fabulous, the baby is
beyond beautiful. ?Yours? Need to check back and see if I missed
anything. . .which I wouldn't doubt. Stay in a state of "Wha-?"
[Some would say "Duh!"] Thank you for sharing your soaring talent and indominable spirit. Love, Pea

With all that to contend with, I'd say so...no looking back either.

Some people are like black holes; if you let them, they suck all of your energy. Powerful and emotive expression, Liz. Best wishes to you with love and peace,

Dissolving love can be its own enemy. You've done well in expressing here what you said you should have posted long ago. Perhaps "long ago" you were not ready to write this wonderfule pen.

It's a horrible place to be, and you never get used to it, finally thinking single is the best option, just enjoying friends...
