Ping went my phone … It was this week’s SoCs prompt from our very busy and efficient host Linda G Hill. Here’s what she said. “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “love.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun, and happy Valentine’s Day!”
Unrequited Love.
Jump she said , How high?
Was his gentle reply.
He would do anything for her
Yet she scorned him and treated him like a cur.
Presents he lavished on her daily
She accepted them then dismissed him gayly
She was always on her way out
Never a thank you, her mouth a permanent pout.
One day he could take no more
So he pushed a note through her door.
“I can’t go on trying to win your favour.
I am wasting my time, it shows in your behaviour.
He was gone and she was on her own
She was shocked to the core, cut right to the bone.
She really had not realized how much he’d done for her
No she did not see she loved him til he was no longer there!
