The Breakup Slam

It's Not You

It's Me

Actually in Truth
That's a Small White Lie 

I have been cheating on you
For a While now 
Having Passionate Sex
With another Guy

And i have been thinking it over
for a while now

And i Think

Yes

We Should

Break - Up


BAM

SLAM

There it Is 

Signed , Sealed , Delivered

Love's Equivalent of an

Imploding

Suicide Vest

Destination
1
Single Victim 

SLAM

You have been Served

Once upon a time Smitten 
Planning a Wedding Fitting

To being , Reduced to 
Tears before Bed
And obsessing over what you actually
Did Wrong
Or
Could have done or said 
Instead
To make her stay 
Or
Love you Back

And when good intentioned
Friends and Random People
Quote the Recently Dumped
Break-Up Bible

Stating there are
Plenty More Fish in the Sea
Remember this 

Slam

It's also 2 choc full of

Sharks
&
Predators 

Like the 1 that just
Dumped You

Rather look at this from a different Perspective
Using another age old fishing analogy

Given enough Time 
You will never ever Say

She was a Keeper

Or

Be Refered to as 

The 1 that 
Got Away

More like the
Wrong Shoes 
Or
Wrong tool for the Job

Thank God

Christopher, "She May be the beauty or the beast May be the famine or the feast May turn each day into a heaven or a hell She may be the mirror of my dreams The smile reflected in a stream She may not be what she may seem Inside her shell" -Charles Aznavour and Herbert Kretzmer
