She's a lady of fashion
after so many years,
and the checks that she's cashing
are 'bout to drive him to tears.

He claims the judge was blinded
by her pout and her smile.
Now it's legally binding
that he keep her in style.

She gets peace of mind
from trying to drive him insane.
She won't be satisfied
Until he opens a vein.

His heart is bleeding
and he's growing thin.
But, she's not conceding
until he's all done in.

She sleeps in his castle.
Another man in his bed.
His new home's on axles
and he can't see the kids.

His anger covers his guilt.
Guilt... He learned to ignore it.
Now,  he crys at milk spilt
and denies he asked for it.

Although his goose is cooking.
She heats it up even more...
By walking 'round looking
hotter than ever before.

She gets peace of mind
from trying to drive him insane.

Most excellent write Larry...
Well done.

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart..
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul.

::shrugs::    dunno LeeJ
I tend to hover between "heaven" and "earth".
The higher I go...the less I am understood.
Sooo... I land for awhile...observe and take notes...
and get much better responses.   LOL
Watch me.  I sometimes even roll in the dirt...to rid myself of any lives that may be clinging.
