All that way
Only to be told by Jude
That he had another,
Some girl he'd met
At the shop he worked,
Some flirt,
Some piece of skirt,
Tess thought,
Fighting back tears,
Not giving him the satisfaction,
And after those times
Of copulation and promises,
This betrayal,
And all said
In that cool style,
That way of saying
We can still be friends
Kind of bull,
That innocent eyed stare,
And no word
Of getting her home,
Walked her to the bus stop,
The moon bright,
The chill night,
The stars twinkling
Like school kids at play,
And she undone,
Ripped wide,
No where to go,
No place to hide.

I just wanted to stop by since I am finally going through what is now listed as under 5,100 pieces of gather new mail that is sitting in my inbox on here.
With that mentioned I just came across either a mailing from you yourself, or someone else brought this piece to my attention. You or they felt that your creation should be shared with the gather community, which I am very glad that it was passed on to me to view. So I wanted to say Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to publish it here on gather for us to all view. :o)
As well before I leave you I wanted to wish you a Happy New Year... in 2009 :o)
