A Rattling Rhyme

I fell head over heels loving you, 
and you now say to me we are through! 
How can you be so cruel, make me blue,
after all our great times, you construe
to be free, and this choice now pursue?

Just so quick, no review to undo
what you say are bad things done to you,
and no chance to amend in my view
any change that will work to renew
how you feel about me, work it through.

But now wait, looking back, it's adieu!
You're not worth my good heart, so hereto
we are done! Without me, you'll unglue
when a new love of life I ensue.
No more head over heels loving you!

Congrats, Sandra, on a piece that reminded me of of the old Gloria Gaynor song ' I will survive'. Kick ass! Viv x

I love how the tone turned from pleading to feisty - if we are through, good riddance to you!
