Tell This Tale Tenderly
their twin heart fires alighted
two passionate flames
one truly was excited
other full of blames
their merger was completing
disappointment too
her high hopes were depleting
she was glad they're through
her partner sought empathy
from her cousin Sue
now he gets no sympathy
no glance, no boo hoo
her new life is marvelous
she made her escape
a pioneer courageous
smooth as a new grape
so tell this tale tenderly
choose the words so well
choose the verbs most slenderly
do not oversell
okay if you titillate
difficult not to
you might even scintillate
speaking of these two
