Lesson on Love

Writers Digest PAD 23

You say you’ll love me unconditionally?
I already have a dog.
That you’ll wrap your love around me?
Fleece blanket.
That you’ll give me the sun and moon?
Where would I store them?
That you can’t live without me?
You have till now and will.
Your face falls, smile fails, a tear gleams in your eye,
I’ve hurt you – I’m sorry, but it just isn’t wise… for me.
I watch you walking slump shouldered to the car
a pretty girl passes and smiles
your head whips round and you say, Helllooo there…
Class dismissed.

  1. Debi, this was definitely Adult Swim! Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting.

    Amazing how intuition can see through the shallow promises of a lover who will undoubtedly prove unfaithful. The "class dismissed" finale, icing on the cake! Loved this. Peace, Amy
