I wanted love -  honest passionate. You wanted me while useful. I loved you despite, including and because of. You found faults - plentiful. I vowed in our fake love to honour you, but your truth was dishonourable. I get by - so do you, but you swagger  like Lord of Thrall. You’re not all bad or you couldn’t be so good. You just hunger for new meat. Bon chance to the next one or two, or threes … They’ll need it, and I'll get up off my knees.

The Affair
I wanted love -  honest passionate. You wanted me while useful. I loved you despite, including and because of. You found faults - plentiful. I vowed in our fake love to honour you, but your truth was dishonourable. I get by - so do you, but you swagger  like Lord of Thrall. You’re not all bad or you couldn’t be so good. You just hunger for new meat. Bon chance to the next one or two, or threes … They’ll need it, and I'll get up off my knees.
Bitter heartbreak.
