Unrequited Love

 

That’s it! We’re through!

You’ve let me down for the last time!

You promised so much, but delivered so little.

I poured my heart out to you.

I trusted you to cherish my words and keep them safe.

But you tossed them out as though they never existed.

Over and over again I gave you another chance.

Time and again, I was willing to start over.

You taunted and teased me. You led me to believe you’d stay.

Those with an opinion said, “Give it a chance, it’ll work out”

But some said, “Forget it, go back to what’s familiar and comfortable”

I took a chance on you and you failed me.

But this time I saw it coming.

I noticed the same little telltale signs. The erratic behavior.

The slow responses to my requests. So I readied myself for the crash.

This time I outsmarted you. I was prepared.

I stole everything I could and hid it where you’d never find it.

So where am I now?

Shall I go back to the old, familiar and reliable?

It’s true my choices are few and limited.

I thought I once loved you Vista, but you've forced me to go back to XP.

Interesting little write my friend!

"I poured my heart out to you.

Yes indeed, I've heard that one before! Be careful before
pouring out your heart to just anyone, it just might
never come back in a solid mass again!

Caught me and I laughed, well written and very well presented with a humorous twist!!

Hah! Endearingly witty. I love it! It flows, for the most part, very well, and is a pleasure to read aloud.
That is... Until you hit the dreaded...

Gah! That really messes up the rhythm you had going there, and from there, it's difficult to get back into that groove you had going so well before that.

But other than that, I loved it! I didn't expect the ending at all, and it was a pleasant surprise. Made me laugh, and overall, very well written.
