I closed the door adjoining the kitchen and the living room. Her voice was barely a whisper so i had to lean in closer. What she said was simply flabbergasting. My eyes widened and I flashed her a look of disgust. She nodded with agreement.Tears followed.... "What has the world come up to?" i thought...
She then drew me closer and began to pour her heart out. But me,in my pursuit of pleasing her, failed as a listener. Instead, i raged with her, spited the culprit and narrowed my eyebrows with contempt.I realize i was too eager to please her. Why? Partly because she had chosen ME of all people and partly because i too felt(still do) she was wronged. Both parties have morals. Trust me on that. Now all i had to do was listen, but wouldn't that have made her uncomfortable? Wasn't i supposed to console her and let her know it wasn't her fault? It wasn't..was it? Yes, there was booze, red red wine...

*Sign*...... Life is just too complicated.
