Just because lust, love
Both begin with letter “L”
They’re not equal, same
Heart showed paltry reluctance
Flames rose in devil’s fireplace
♠
Faulty myth, Romance
Like menu entrée’s spiced dish
Tricky enigma
Passion hinders intellect…
Married with no quaint advice
Nor sure approval
Small audience wore blank looks—
We catapulted
Into uncharted letdown
No scintillating evenings
♠
Your rage, my mute fear
Intimacy absent love
Our sole connection—
You did everything you could
To scare me into leaving
♠
Why were you surprised
When you finally succeeded…
I squandered 3 years
On dream without substance, let
You deceive, thieve who I was
♠
Should have read Bible…
I didn’t know my value
Threw pearls before swine

Wow. I lost nearly 8 years, but it wasn’t all bad and my fostering experience came out of it, something I would not change for anything.
