After all of that

They try so hard.

They
Hope....Beg....Plead

They
Barrow....Barter....Trade

They
Plan....Plot....Scheme

They
Lie....Cheat....Steal

They
Strive....Struggle....Fight

They
Scratch....Tear....Claw

Just to get into

Your

Mind....Soul....Heart

Then

After all of that

They just walk out.

I have a box of broken fingernails

I pulled out of my chest.

I think I just hit the ground and fell to pieces Ron. I know the other side of this, meaning when a man leaves his woman, emotionally. Very home hitting for me. Wonderful work, despite the pain. *hugs* Julia~

*blinks* Sheesh! "Then/After all that/They just walk out." I love the fact that this is so open ended, allowing you to make what you will of "They". Excellent piece. Good to see you writing! ~*Beth*~
