Sweeten my drink

  He said he was going to write her a letter.
He said he didn’t want to upset her.
But he ran away
And until today
She’s never met anyone better.
He said he loved her blue eyes
He said he loved her till he dies.
He ran off when
He saw her again.
She wants to say her goodbyes.
He told her too many lies.
See how she weeps and she cries.
He promised her Eden,
Now love lies a-bleeding.
Pain has made her both troubled and wise.
He was self-centred  though sweet.
He was a marvel at  rubbing her feet.
He liked her steak puddings,
Followed by  her loving.
You’d think at the least he might tweet
Well they say it is all for the pests.
And surely he was one of the best.
A  catapult of  dried cat food
Would’ve made him even more rude.
Ah,well,dear God,  this life’s a test.

Is love ever wasted d’you think?
Do we learn from it even at the brink?
We ought to collect it
Then we’d inspect it.
And use it to sweeten the drink
