Pearls Before Swine

Drove past your old house, slowin' just because.. perhaps just to return to scene of the crime. Kinda sad to find nothing left as once was, proof your lapdog better comfort than I. Came to settle all old grievances, finish what once so well begun, though breaking. My mistake in guess, you shined in happiness, and the whole world was yours for the taking. I know feet weren't meant to trample a heart, and finer hands never meant my soul undone. Maybe there's hope for us, a chance at new start, can't hold my breath waitin' that day will come. I touched your citrus seed, tasted tender skin., though forgot to quench thirst from sweet juice within.

I really thought this was a sonnet, until I looked at the 'form' that read rhyme. A heart-tugger, Richard. Lovely penning, Gershon
