I bite my lip
controlling words on tip
of tongue
that would spill out
in venomous spew
due to you
who presents yourself
untrue

and it boils
under my skin
just how thin
your alibis lie
in white wash trying

to make me believe
your intentions are real

does your heart not feel
the pain you cause;

haven’t you ever given pause
to all those moments
that you've left me unnoticed

while others are blessed
with happiness
when you swing the gates wide,
stepping inside
to make their day
yet, never once
glancing my way...

I'd rather that you
shut the gate
so I don't wait
anymore, only to find
I'm being ignored.

I think today
I'll buy new paint
colored in black
to paint that fence
so that it might match
the shade of heart
that your soul lacks....

Give 'em hell, Harry-ette! ~ and you did it superbly! ~ and with a touch of class to boot!

'Tis a sad scenario when one's loving ways are not returned. You, m'dear, deserve only the best and I hope that that is what you will one day have! Don't settle for anything less, Gentle Spirited One.

Loveya!

Sadly they don't seem to care...at least not at the time when it would count...later perhaps they will...when they have no choice but to suffer...James
