I Was the Better Man

His suits and empires made it so swift from afar all you saw was his mid-rift with me you were glowing our future was moving from his dark pit, you now expect a lift.

Puzzling content, do not take it personally. Exception is there, that is why actually we could claim our state of " being better."

You are the better man. This poem proves it! Great limericks and no so subtle meanings of who this person should have chosen.

This poem made me think of a woman who has made the wrong decision - in the man she could be with

Well captured...the regrets of love choices......the fragile point when love dies. Good to read you again. My Muse is playing her favorite game of hide & seek. Best, SuZ
