Life has become an empty cage, <br />Around which I chase my own tail, <br />A cage full of loneliness, <br />Unhappiness, and rage! <br /> <br />So Donall said, <br />'Treat yourself... <br />As a Lover would... <br />Such good advice, <br />And I know I should! <br /> <br />You know, take a long hot bath, <br />And wear new perfume, <br />To match the new dress, <br />And shoes, and purse <br />I bought for myself... <br /> <br />And lest I forget, <br />For I don't regret, <br />At all, the new Diamond Ring! ! <br />Makes my heart sing. <br /> <br />So, now that I am all dressed, <br />And smelling good, <br />As a woman should, <br />Where will I go? <br />To a Movie Show? <br /> <br />Or a concert, <br />Where no one is alone, <br />Save myself? ? ? <br />Yeah, right! <br />I just know <br />I would enjoy the show! <br /> <br />Or should I go to a dance, <br />And sit, back to the wall <br />Being able to dance <br />With no man at all? <br /> <br />Well, guess I will stay right here, <br />Never mind the tears, <br />And watch some sorry TV, <br />And have an ice cream, <br />Alone again. <br /> <br />Scarlett Treat <br />May 21,2008 <br /> <br />Here's a secret note to all readers - I do go to concerts, art shows, movies, whatever I like - - and my TV is broken! ! This was an experimental poem...to say the least! ! Scarlett<br /><br />Scarlett Treat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/treating-myself-as-a-lover-would/
