Heartbreak Hotel

Welcome, to the Heartbreak Hotel where there is always a vacancy here. The cost you ask, oh there is no fee for your stay is calculated only in tears. Upon entering our wonderful establishment you will find a revolving door. Once again the time you stay is up to you to stay a door or forever more. While inside you will find a gift shop filled with the finest of romance and sweet perfume. Shelves stocked with false pretense, lust and seduction just build your own display as you fill the room. Cover the bed with rose petals and draw a bubble bath strategically place candles to set the mood. Fill her eyes with sparkle and soul with false hope all the while knowing, your exit will be crude. Music is playing and you are dancing about, and she doesn't have a clue or care. All she knows is her heart is glowing and smiling as you plot out leaving...if you dare. Soon the music stops, bubbles have disappeared and the candles have lost their glow. She sits on the bed, with head in hands while watching you as you go. No need to drop off a key as you pass by to walk out the revolving door. For you see, we remember names and faces because one day your heart will one day hit the floor. Your next visit is on the house, my friend we will keep a vacancy here. As the scene plays out same as before, you see, I hope you are the one shedding a tear. Welcome, to the Heartbreak Hotel

The ending says it all. :) impressive, REBECCA, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
