In the maelstrom that is regret
Lesser loves sink and drown...
Only the truly worthy float
And meet within burning arms
The blesséd embrace of a nameless rapture.
Let us record, then, the descent
Of stubbornly mute grains
That wallow in the muck of discarded pebbles,
That insist with an haughty voice that they love us,
Yet would cast aside their promises
(While maintaining some semblance of honesty),
And, slipping down the neck of denial,
Declare that they shall commit the very sin
Of ignorance with which they castigated us.
Bah, let them stew
In the bitter juices of their hypocrisy,
The basting waste of efforts
That they've proven themselves to be.

When you get burned by this loser replacement, and you *will* get burned, think on how I tried to give you a way out.

Wow!!! When pain sits in the driver's seat, it's always an exhilirating ride, eh? Particularly loved the line "The basting waste of efforts"......love the imagery and mind-candy that generates. Sorry for your pain....but, glad for the poem.
