The Reel Scripted Love Story

I feel most free when Authoring the email and just press ‘send’ Letting go From someone I left in the snow A partner ever so cold Decided this relationship hand I will fold “Take the winning chip” I did quip Scribing the electronic script Savoring my wine, I did sip But the point is I am free Reminding myself by staring at my earned degree Hanging on the wall Secure there and it will never fall Time to head out Into the summertime weather where I will shout Free I am No worries about any commitment scam Forcing me into an economic jam “Yes, I am free! Just me!” Alone here Holding a happy hour beer Observing the sun descending When I started defending The good parts to the last chapter And the laughter We had Realizing my last partner was not that bad Time to sleep it off The alcohol I bought In the morning when I turned on the communication device Who was there listening ever so nice Dialing up the zoom Praying to the early morning moon That I will not face my partner answer ‘I decline’ About the issue stating I wanted to resign Suddenly something started to stream Like it was a dream There was a lonely exit light Shining not so bright Inside the movie house Everyone inside silent as a mouse Entertained as the romantic story pages started to unfold About my relationship in the cold Yet today I feel warm Ready to play taps on my horn Contemplating the scorn Ending it all Constructing a wall Dividing us two Thinking it would be cool Trying to decide Whether to confront or hide Compromising on saying goodbye But alas when sitting on the beach A verdict was reached To make amends Using the computer keyboard to pen But when a meeting was a request The reply came from a guest Just visiting the wintry land Promoting frustrating ugliness as its brand But who was this stranger? Cozying up in my former manger I wanted to know What did my love interest find in the snow Releasing me to be free To find someone to water ski In the end the cinema lights returned I thought about who got burned And for a second, it was only a sincere concern Someone cut a deal This cannot be the final reel Ending I could not comprehend Since it is all pretend But it is true Our tragic love story was through On the positive side I am not tied Trapped with someone until I die Instead, a new adventure awaits Lurking in this tropical set sequel with another mate All I must do is ask a stranger on a date Taking the hook and the bait Sealing my lifelong fate That was worth the wait
