Listen to me, and listen please for I have held these words far too long. I have everything a person needs, food, shelter and clothing. Right? Sure, of course, and it's marvelous isn't it? It's like flying with no fuel. Cause there are somethings I do not have. Things I feel I now deserve. Things I'm not ashamed to ask for. How about a little encouragement in me being me? I don't want a bouquet of flowers, and no more letters of apology, emotional blackmail, that's what it is and I've had it! Stop crying and whining about how awful YOU feel and look at me. Expression? You say you can't express yourself when making love. Honey, it takes more than five minutes, tops. I'm not a bird in a cage or maybe I was, trapped but the door is opened now, and you know what? I'm not hungry, naked, or out in the cold but inside, inside I am starving lost freezing you know what to do. Stop using me as a "servant" and start treating me like the woman I am. The things you want you can pay for... that's not me. I'm better than that. Maybe worship me a little? If you don't, and you have that chance again, if you don't, then yes, you have every reason to be afraid of losing me. So, remember that. Be afraid, be very afraid. If you don't give me a little more..... love If you don't, someone else.... just might. Carol Luna |

Not to mention the greatest possible "do it or else" honeydew in life. Show him this poem. You both need him to read it. Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

Is very sad how easily relationships can fall here when I think neither in the beginning plans to. My applause. A very heartfelt emotional write. |

Carol Luna - You're holding all the cards now girl - don't fold - go for it!! Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |
