A menu of
Your endless schemes
The lost and lonely nights
Ascend upon my shipwrecked heart
As I swallow my last bite

A buffet of your secrets
Betrayal on the side
Your lies well done
At this table for one
Is what my bill implies

I've looked it over carefully
My appetite is lost
My head held high
As I walk by..
Im designed..to cover the cost

The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose...--Hada Bejar

Great analogy Deb. Can we say, "been there". Yes, I guess we are designed to cover the cost. But its not fair. (Once again, you have expressed my feelings perfectly)

Violently good! (I'm having problems with superlatives today I'm afraid)
I liked this VERY much.
Reminded me of my father.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I have been reading in here this afternoon and have been drawn to the sentiments I so rawly felt at the time I was going through ending my 17 year marriage. 15 years later, I have looked back at some of the writing I did then, and am so aware of the anger that was present. My worst days now are still beeter that my best days then. I enjoyed your piece immensely. Linda
