Emotionally Drained Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You know what you don't have?
Good love to give.
It's not that it is bad.
Just needs to be re-deposited.
With someone else...
Who appreciates,
Pinching pennies...
And squeezing nichels.
Knowing that a dime worth of nothing,
May give them some incentive!
Since you have left me,
Emotionally drained.
And stress is not what I value!
Or find it mentally cost effective.
Not at today's prices one has to pay...
To keep a peace one gets,
Left to completely enjoy!
