Encumbrance
To secure your love you required my assets but the interest on your heart came at too high a price. I am love poor. You are an encumbrance. I need to break free before you foreclose on my heart.
Ever distant yet ever present, please stop calling me home.
Excellently worded! Enjoyed that very much – clever and powerful.
Thank you. It was fun weaving together love and economy. Seems like an unlikely fit but I think it worked.
Once you get the cake decorating thing down – you can integrate your wise and wonderful words – the veritable icing on the cake! J
Well, I do need to sweeten my words up sometimes.
this is so very definitely your genre! The subject (heartbreak) is timeless, and the setting (financial world) is timely. Brilliant!
Thanks so much. I was definitely inspired by the fact that Toronto is the financial capital of Canada. I’m glad you picked up on that.
The break up of two accountants?;) Love it.
I never thought of that but that’s perfect!
“I need to break free before you foreclose on my heart.”—Lovely line.
Thanks Carrie. That’s one of my favourite lines too.
