Read To Me
I never hold back when
it comes to
relationships.
You get the unedited
version, just the cold hard
facts, ma'am.
The good, the bad and
the truly ugly.
Most times, I'm a cover
to cover read.
A real page turner.
My truth is stranger
than your fiction
sometimes.
I'm a take it or
leave it
kind of girl. I fall
fast and I fall hard.
When it implodes in
my face, I get up
and brush off the
dusty ruins
you left
behind.
Then, I send you
the bill for the
dry cleaning.
You'll never see me cry
over a man. I save my
tears for my pillow, a glass
of fine champagne and
an Elton John
classic.

So open hearted, very well written
Very well written no nonsense approach about relationships. Be yourself at all costs. Never depend on anyone else for your happiness, and Never allow anyone else to make you sad. Some great lines here.
Great write up.its not just a poem.its an act done and the way it is expressed gives it a somewhat beautiful aura. Paying the bills for dry cleaning.., a drink.that john will surely not b missed
