While I silently go insane, their salt
has turned into sugar. Happy with
new partner, they laugh at me. Those
grinning eyes, they keep asking
me questions – where is she,
for whom you betrayed
us. Everyday
they grill me –
my ex
tears.

Yikes! Salt –> sugar is an awful disguise. Too often the thoughtlessness of others causes or crazyness.

There is nothing quite like the feelings of a lover who’s lost. I am an old man and my advice is; get used to it…this won’t the only time you will feel this way!
