Taylor White Poet Limerick

Sleep

You betrayed me, I trusted you 
Now look here there are only a few
I leave for a bit 
I come back to sit 
My dessert now gone, it had to be you

Eyes that burn with rage and fury 
Someone bring in the grand jury 
The evidence is here
It is bright and clear
My revenge will be savoury 

To get away without getting caught
Is something that cannot be bought 
Plan the course of action 
Without a distraction 
You are paying for my distraught 

With nowhere to go and hide
Oh you better be terrified 
You will pay for this 
Screaming into an abyss
You created a great divide

You must leave now before it’s to late
You becoming lost is something I’d hate
Afterall we are sisters
And I may be bitter 
Now dear sister give me your plate

L Milton Hankins March 8, 2021 at 3:16 PM Taylor, BYH, will you please correct the spelling of "dessert" in the last line of the first stanza. I don't think you meant that dry barren thing called a "desert." English is so cruel with all of these words like desert and dessert, isn't it?
