Humiliation

there is no elation to humiliation
no grace to mud on the face
from bowing down
one time too many
you have to rise above
be aloof
don't spoof yearning/aching/burning
you'll be learning your ABC's of passion
all over again
ignore the din inside the tin pulpit
of your heart
there are no soul mates
there is no One
the fun is in the chase
once the chase is over
catch your breath
and walk away
head held high
don't even try
going back again
there is no back
bridges are made to be burned
chat rooms and ICQ make hell
easier to bear
it's not like the old days
when you had to look someone in
the eye
to determine
their worth.
