It would appear
That a dose of reality
Won't always pierce
The cotton headed ninny muggins
Amongst us.
He doesn't love you
Really means
HE DOESN'T LOVE YOU.
Not
He's playing hard to get.
Or
He's unable to express
How he really feels.
Because
He's been hurt
Or
Betrayed
Or
Had a rotten childhood.
He doesn't love you
Means
It's time
To let go
Of
Him.
And begin to
Embrace
Yourself.
Yep, wake up and smell the coffee now
ReplyDeletecold and milky pale.
so true I agree with Cynthia yep wake up and smell the coffee they don't change what you see is what you get.
ReplyDeleteBreaking up is hard to do, hard to admit and it hurts, that is why we try to avoid it only to be hurt even more. Been there got the medal. All our hopes blown away like dandelion seeds. Great piece!
ReplyDelete'ninny muggins'..what a wonderful phrase..and a playful piece..no is hard to swallow at times..but it helps if it's washed down by strong cup of coffee..Jae
