What do we expect?

Like most women, if not all women,
Miss Havisham was looking
For a long term relationship.
She was looking for Love.
She was looking for marriage.
A spinster, left alone after a tragic event,
Her entire family lost at sea.
Yet hope came along in the person
Of the dashing cavalry captain Herbert Dinsmore.
Tall, handsome, and no fool when the scent of money
Was in the air,

It was at a ball organized by the wife of his friend
Captain Moon that he met the tall and somewhat skinny
Miss Havisham.
He knew all the moves and, after some reticences
She let herself be courted - discreetly.

Ha, but she found that she loved the attention.
He invited himself over and
She did not deny him entry
He also  found entry to her heart
And found entry to her bedroom.

There was serious talk of marriage
Plans were made
A date was set.

But on the morning of that faithful day
Captain Dinsmore had another appointment
With Destiny.
He had lost a lot of money gambling
Had also insulted the wrong people.
Thus the duel at dawn.

The bullet hit him in the heart.
The bad news hit her even harder

She never recovered from the shock
And to this day she roams the vast halls
Of her spacious residence and moans
In silence.

 
 
That was your game  
at least it was when we met  
Downing morphine like it was going out of fashion and you the trend setting queen  
Slow release tablets  
white lightning chasers with a nibbled kebab for company  
 
A certain stench masked behind Mr muscle  
Almost as if someone had opened the door a tiny crack as if to summon death  
 
Those tastes  
rationed out on the end of tiny spoons  
Just enough to numb the tiny pricks  
but nowhere close to kill the pain  
Head spinning from the oncoming freight train migraine  
 
Rolled me over so as not to asphyxiate  
floating away  
Janis kissed your forehead  
whispered it's gonna be OK  
Vanished quickly like a ghosts gust  
passes the room  
When you thought unconsciousness  
had claimed me  
You casually downed  
enough for a month's supply  
Rang the doctor that morning  
had more delivered to the door that evening  
 
Why are you waiting around to die?  
 
You even suckled that bottle right up  
to our daughters birth  
Stabbed me deep  
Ran off and left dying  
 
Guess you found something to live for
