Innovative Surmise
I think she liked me more than you
and you couldn't stand it
especially since she loved you supremely
she was a force
all grit and bone
a pork gravy woman
she would tell you a thing or two
and I loved her tellings
curmudgeon woman
I think she saw she had to reject me
it was too late
it was always too late
The last stanza is so painful, Willow. Rejection, no matter how or why, is hard.
