Self-pity isn't pretty, is it dear?
Red swollen eyes from all his lies are,
simply put, a poor disquise for sniv'ling fear.

Take up your cross, or be the boss this time!
Don't be the one who comes undone, go out
and have a little fun-and ditch that slime.

So even if he doesn't sniff and mope,
he might decide you've got some pride, and want
to have you by his side. Or he's a dope.

Though I would be so drunk with glee, so thrilled
to see the back of clueless Jack, I'd dive
right in and help him pack, my dreams fulfilled.

Nan darling girl this is simply exquisite, I truly love this diamond from you. You have an amazing ability to write with such clarity. And this had me smiling I had an insane urge to call you go girl.

As always darling heart you excel and I love it I love it utterly utterly

I’ve missed your writing so much here, thank goodness you’ve posted this I was getting Nan withdrawal

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy



Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

Beautifully done, Nan...and full of those assertive, womanly feelings that I have come to admire...

Marsha,
Nan-withdrawal is a condition that is all too often overlooked by today's medical community. Help us raise awareness with your donation of just a few dollars to the Nan Foundation for ...Oh, heck! There I go again!  

Lyra,
I thought it might be a bit too rambunctious to post here, and almost didn't. I'm glad you liked it. Assertive womanly group hugs all round!  

Sunshine,
Gee, thanks!I always do!

Noah,
Thank you, I can always count on your kindness.

Morcastlin,
Glad you liked it!

Enchantress,
Or possibly meow? I always roar in soprano, it's a bit odd, I know.
