No, I’m not the one
who walked out the door
and threw the keys
into the deepest end of the lake.

Why is it you
cannot recognize
true beauty,
preferring only to see the beast?

You always said
she was only a memory
and that one broken heart
was already one too many.

Seems as if you
forgot the old golden rule
of relationships,
the UNTO OTHERS one.

No, I’m not the one
who walked out the door
and tossed away
the keys to her heart.

Wow!!  Powerful write here Kacy!
Someone sounds pretty angry...
glad it isn't you.

dancing with you in the summer rain~

Yep, glad it's not me this time, Nancy. But it did happen to a friend, who never saw it coming. It's the sad side of love.
thanks for reading

Damn. Love this.
