I make you euphoric
and yet
you are leaving me
oh how the irony
enrages my very blood
and makes me miserably
contrite
you can not know
for yourself
such gall of shame
so to hell with mine
once happiness
you just managed to put
any hope I might have had
out like the proverbial light
well, just for that
I hope all your children are born
Naked!................
