Yet truly Line..' Does it have to be to the letter.? Enjoyed the read and thought.'

I like the feelings conveyed by the speaker of the poem, a touch of anger. There is a good sense of bargaining and pleading.

I like your poem’s ambiguity; are you directing your words to a person who has perhaps wronged you in a relationship or indeed life itself? Great to read you back at The Soup Line. The tureen has leaked much talent recently. Cheers - Gary
