Love Revenge

you came out of nowhere yet you had been there all along all the time looking at me at the place where we worked i never took notice of you as i played my social games as i did my work by rote then you called me and everything changed...l i liked your voice i liked your smile i lived your humor i invited you into my heart after a time we played word games of what might be ahead i took it seriously perhaps you could be my man. he does't drink, h doesn't smoke, these are things that i told my friends i said i think he is a really decent man. elated i flamed i flew to please i offered myself at your altar each day. after each sacrifice your destain seemed to grow of course you took what you got and you were never overly unkind you withdrew from the intimate first conversations and i didn't under- stand. you acted as if this was all in my head. now i do understand now i really do your time is up my pink slip is on the bed. janetta (for twila)
