Handyman

When we first met you said all you wanted was a lover and best friend... Instead I became your personal handyman seemingly to repair your past leaky ceiling relationships... Maybe to super glue the many pieces of your broken heart back together or oil your squeaky insecurities... I spent much time tightening nuts and bolts in your suspicious mind seeing they were loose... But as of now I'm hanging up my hammer and tool pouch no longer your handyman I'm putting in my two weeks notice... ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

You get a seven on this one. You did right by hanging up your tools. You are either a lover, or a handy man. No te aguites Ken - La vida sigue... Lucilla

Relationships are all about give and take. We give it all that we have and sometimes it is still not enough. Then, we come to the point of saying enough is enough, when we can take no more. This poem was sweet to begin with, so I did not expect the twist at the end. You are so creative with the metaphors, Ken. Really great work!
