Card Gone

one could say she'd earned it
living with him was not easy;
spent profusely, constantly
her own money, as well as his

he loved her, so he let her be
shelves of shoes, scarves;
many never worn, but looked pretty
all placed neat and tidily in place

only the best for his sweetheart
so he paid the bills as they came;
when she left, so did the card
he cut her off, no more platinum for her

    Good descriptive write, setting up the reader for the final line, an aha moment without the haiku, how clever! Well done my friend!

    Oh dear, the perils of blinded love. It's interesting how one person can give up everything for someone, even when it's obvious they are being used. This is a sad little tale, although the ending gave me a chuckle. I also like that you strayed away from the metal 'platinum'; and instead refer to the credit card; and gross-overspending.

    Thank you for entering my contest & g'luck
