misery , move on !

Nothing more than a sampling of misery

Submitted by you in the form of a recipe

One part me, mixed thoroughly

Stirred emotions in perpetuity

Two parts us, sliced and spliced

Cut into pieces as desire diced

Friendship into forbidden love

Pushed into strangers with a shove

No one to blame for the gentle spice

Attraction blissful and wishful to entice

Brought to a boil on life’s stovetop,

Contained so perfectly without spilling a drop

All good things must end, indeed so true

Silverware settling before the meal was through

Leftover discarded instead of refrigerated

No resurrection suitable for what we instigated

Moving on with my life, china in the sink,

Sitting in suds as I try to think

Why she left me without a hint or mention

Why she left me alone in this kitchen

For awhile, I was angered with no food for carving

Depressed by the notion she would leave me starving

Yet I’m finding new ways to preheat and bake

Forgiving us for the mistake we did make

The dinner dies yet a new dawn will brighten

Breakfast will be hearty and my spirits will lighten

But I must say she fulfilled every single wish

I sought from love in such a delicious dish!
