Take one small pan,
One naïve little girl and
One naïve little man.
Blend them together on a gentle, loving heat,
Until tender, warm.
Until they’re almost one
in form.
Add some sweetener,
Flavouring, colour.
A little too much?
Ah, no bother.
Stir in the thickening agent.
Too Sticky?
Hotter!
Boil your pan,
Add more.
Another man, so
another whore.
Stir it.
Beat it.
Stronger, harder.
Still not gone over?
Add anything left in the larder.
Is it right now?
Throw something in for bad taste?
Is the balance restored? No? Add some lemon –
Throw that in their face.
He dragged her through your
Beautifully-prepared bed of leaves.
Where did you hear it?
Was it dropped through the eaves?
Why worry about the mess?
Wear your favourite dress,
Your smile.
Walk a mile.
Hob off
And look at that:
The best darn mistake you’ve ever made.

"I feel, I love, so I live"
My two good friends broke up after having been together for over a year, due to unfortunate unfaithfulness. I wrote this to help her and to descibe the feelings that I once harboured myself.

this was really good. I mean the cooking instructions in the beginning explained what love and life is really about. Perfect but add too much you'll get burn
