You say it never mattered
you say you never cared
You say you never meant it
you say it wasn’t shared
You tell me that you’re leaving
the price of love too high
You tell me what you’re taking
— that final last goodbye
With sorrow I resent you
with sorrow I decry
With sorrow you brought heartache
with sorrow all your lies
Regret will be your suitor
regret to long reside
Regret will be your tour de force
— regret you cannot hide
(Dreamsleep: November, 2025)
California Gaslight
Trapped inside
his mirror
Prevarication
flows
A narcissist
parading
The emperors
— new clothes
(Flexing In Brazil: November, 2025)

You have painted the process of bailing out of a relationship here Kurt. Lovely
Thanks Soren.
Kurt, both pieces cut clean…heartbreak in the first, unmasked arrogance in the second. You name what others dance around. Great job.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thanks, I could write a novel, but I won't waste any more time on him.
