Alas!

 

    Well done!

 

At last, it has come….

 

It was always a one-way direction.

 

            (Oh! Iniquitous injustice!)

 

            (False hearted confection!)

 

So it happens, sometimes, 

        to some.

 

The onus 

        was always on me.

 

I’d proven myself        

        (unbefittingly)

 

    No warrant,

          no justice.

No 

    acknowledgement.

 

 

Well done!

    Now we’ve come….

 

        We’re finished.

 

 

But I still pray,

    that some day,

you, too, 

receive 

    a   just     

dis pen  

    sa tion.

 

 

 

So, at last! 

    There, thus:

 

        it’s the end

            of both “Us.”

 

 

Farewell, then,

    my fair-feathered    “friend.”

 

That was the last straw;

    and now this begins:

 

I haven’t the desire, again –

 

    I’m burning my bridges:

          Both ends!
