Crumbs.

written 6-9-09 @ 530 am

Tear stains on my pillow...
despair rules the night....

an awkward and inept heart once overflowing with love....
ever waiting for the crumbs of your affection-

shattered now into millions of tiny shards.


Over what?

my despicable inability to ever
be enough-
or mean enough-
to you.

"Ya have to kiss a lot of frogs before you meet your prince... just watch out for all the pond scum!!!"

Don't settle for crumbs...
you want the whole cake.

Why, Miss Abagail I do declair that is the most heart wrenching poem, I have ever read.
Why so honest, decent women pursue such insensitive louts is beyond my comprehension.
But, or course, I do know the old saw, "The heart has reasons the mind knows not of."
