don’t ask, someone will tell of
wilted flower beauty of beast(ly)
hot day when railroad cowboy
wedded pretty (n)ice princess.
over a score of years/careers
more absence = less fondness
angry words derail love ‘n trust
cold hearts solidify, un-meltable.
interference called on (that) boy
(friend?) in basement bedroom.
mental (illness) manipulation
disables relationship while 3
children suffer collateral pain.
home quakes on (no) fault line;
at long last, shiny (90-day ltd)
sheriff arrives to serve papers
and awful deed is “so-o done”.
