Relish

The Hot Dog and The Bun

By Maria AyalaPublished 6 years ago β€’ 1 min read

It was so much fun to see you again.

I saw it in your face. You realize that soon I will be with him.

I will be with the man, who was once your husband.

I will be with the man that you tossed out like trash.

You just can't stand it. I saw the rage in your eyes.

You had to suppress it. You were at work.

It was so much fun to see you again.

Now you know I am not a push over.

You know I didn't die of cancer. I didn't die of pneumonia.

I didn't die. I will live on. My love for him will live on.

I will give him everything you are incapable of giving him.

You'll see. The whole world will see.

I am younger than you.

And I will always be younger than you.

The light of my spirit can be seen from my countenance.

The light from my spirit shines through.

In the end, good always wins.

When will you learn?

It was so much fun to see you again, yesterday.

I will relish, rubbing my happiness in your face.

I will relish it, like a hot dog is dressed for fans of the game.

You played the game by your rules.

You lost. I won.

Relish that thought.
