Promises you made to keep.
Yet I'm standing in your lies knee-deep.
The way you used to make my heart flutter,
Are washed away like the leaves in a gutter.
All my secrets were yours to hold.
My passion about you never got old.
But, I fell like cherry blossom leaves.
Took me awhile to forget how you breathe.
Dead inside, you made me dark.
Your light never again will be my spark.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
