Sometimes the universe is just a cruel mistress.
Caressing you gently and arousing you.  Only to jump on your sack with stiletto heels.

Teasing you with a carrot on a stick.

Then to sate her own lust, jabs said stick in your milk dud…with no warning, and no kiss.

Toyed and played with carelessly.  Granted a small taste of something, then be smacked in the back of the head and forced to spit it out.

Standing on your tip-toes, arms outreached
Finger tips extended
Stretching
Pulling
Reaching
Shaking
Almost….there…..just….a…little…

Fall.

In the end, it’s just a sinister joke.

And fucking cruel.
