Words

You forgot my day, My sad~sad birthday, No card~gift or call, I waited all day, Ended without you. Your words are mean, Your lies are told, Breaking my heart, Your mouth needs soap. Hurt is felt, Sleepless nights, Evil here. Crying, Good-bye. Pain Date Written: 6/10/2022

Thanks for reading/writing. The person here I saw once in the 80's and once in 2000 at a funeral. So I really did not know them. Then again 2019, when all the lies and stealing from me went on. All so very sad. Have a great/blessed day.................

This is so sad Paula. For me birthdays are special. I made them special for my kids and they are never forgotten on their birthdays. My husband never forgot mine. He would buy a gift for me months in advance. I also liked your line your mouth needs soap and sleepless nights. It all goes with a broken heart. Just in case, Happy Belated Birthday sweet lady! Hugs, Connie xxoo

Heya Paula, that’s mad I posted a Hex just now too, but in complete contrast to yours, mine is trying to start something, and yours shows where things can go, the soap in the mouth is a great line, all the best in contest, cheers David
