I do not believe
your acid tears
puddling the floor
around my feet.
Yet they dissolve me
completely,
leaving only
an emotional husk
that will,
eventually,
blow away
in the slipstream
of your indiscretions.

Leads me to think of people who deliberately play on the emotions of others.

You have a graceful way of getting straight to the heart of the matter.

Most men are unable to cope with tears, regardless of their motivation. This is very good!

Oh, I know that feeling from thankfully a long time ago. You describe it perfectly and the aftermath too..
