Evolving Indifference

There is, deep inside every romantic, the angry cuckold waiting to emerge. He says he feels better now, that working through his feelings via the creative catharsis of poetic therapy helped...a lot.

Evolving Indifference

I had a bad case of you
that's for sure
there was no cure
so I had to ride it out
until the final card turned
and I got burned
beyond all recognition
but my premonition
played true
and you
took the money and ran
leaving me to understand
there's a world of difference
between the pathways of love,
and the persistence
of a memory
you don't want me to let go
because there's more to be had,
drained from veins already black
with the disease of caring.
