As I sit and wonder why
things happen as they do

The only thought that flows through my head
is to blame it all on you

All the hurt and all the pain
oh it woes me so

How I live each minute, Each hour, Each day
I really do not know

You hold men’s lives in the
palm of your hand

Their hearts their minds their flesh their blood
all of which makes them a man

I sacrificed all for you
now I have nothing left

You took the house, the kids, the car  
oh ya even my paycheck

So now I shall take the vow
of celibacy

At least until the next time I see
the next woman I can not do with out

Shoot...I am not sure if I should *sigh* because you have had it hard or *giggle* because of the way you ended it. You have me bouncing like a yoyo.  

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

This is cute. Serious write til it got to the end. Gotta have a sense of humour about these things, as Monty python say "always look on the bright side of life"

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

Sure enough was true of many, and enjoyed your humourous ending.
