It Is Not Over

She begs him to come back.
He is packing his things.
She threatens to kill herself.
He laughs.

She runs after him and tries to pull him out of the car.
It is not over! She yells as he shoves her away.
The neighbors have seen this before.
True love for about six weeks and then this.

It is her pattern.
They recognize it and know why.
She smothers you, not giving you any space.
She starts toward their houses, and they run inside and lock their doors.

Oh my, people like this can drive you crazy! Why do they not get the message? But, it always seems like it is someone else who is making them this way, according to them.

The blame can never be theirs and they LOVE high drama!
