Parched dust
drifts from his stare
settling on the wet,
wincing grass
He fancies himself
as a ‘Master Manipulator’
~
Her heat-hazed car
begs a cooling sway of a shade tree
Then... there she stands
with her serene calm
which becomes
a bellows to his rage
~
His heart is cold
and his soul is dead,
yet he would have her believe
his facade of love
But this time, she tells him
he does not deserve her love
~
She smiles slightly,
looks down, and walks away
He stands there, alone,
while mocking trees
throw down their leaves
and sneering cars roll by...
~
reflecting
in
their window glass
the image
of
an ugly man...

There is none so ugly as he who professes to love but cannot.There is none so sad as one whose love goes unrequited. ~L

I believe you are right on both counts, Miss Lori.

Much obliged, doll.
