Endings.

There are no happy endings.
Not in life, no, this is real.
There are endings upon endings.
Choose the easiest to fathom.
Make it your own.
Passion is tiring and who wants to fight for love for eternity?
I don't.
Touch me when you are angry and sullen.
I just want to be loved.
Don't touch me, your happiness is uncouth.
I just want to be alone.
The flood of decency needs only a trickle of sacrilege to turn it black.
By then it will be too late, no going back.
Feelings can hurt for years and even when finally healed,
they need only the rain to bring the pain.

  1. Why did you choose rain?

    Have you read any Anne Sexton? If not, don't take mine out of the house, but read it if you want and if you like it I shall buy you one of your own. I think she will "speak to you", if I may edge over into the realm of slightly corny for a moment.

    When's the next fight?
