An Unhappy Unstory

every night of it she walks
alone down Haters’ Lane

can’t get enough and
the whole town knows it

but still she drags ‘em in
and when enough are unthere

she tells ‘em all the unsweet lies
undangles the bait of her,

unmakes up tales
to please the uninitiates,

about how unsoft she is,
how unlonely she’s become

oh, and how she unseeks
this or that one, untries, unbegs

unnotices undoes and unsays,
while her unfriends eat it up

afraid to unattend, unwishing
to eat the consequences

What a dreary, unfulfilling unexistence she's chosen... and how well you write this woman undone. *S*
