Vindictive

It wasn’t enough to end it, now was it?

You had to get in that last little bite,

Just one more sting, one last gouging punch,

Amend and append your vindictive charade.

 

Could have just walked away, got away clean,

Made a fresh start without causing a fuss.

But stroking your ego was far too important for

You to sit idle and watch the parade.

 

Life has a way of evening out all the

Weights and measures, to level the scales.

Patience is hard but worth the reward.

When all is over, it’s well worth the trade.

 

There is a consequence for every action…

Levies to pay for choices made.
