The North End

A grand exit

in spectacular form.

Her most egregious flaws

so crassly on display

in the decadent lobby

of the Ritz hotel.

At the airport,

sick with shame.

Regret burns her cheeks

and stings her eyes,

but there are some things

that cannot be taken back.

Perhaps though, a fitting end

to such a passionate affair.

Burning out

so spectacularly

in the decadent lobby

of the Ritz hotel.
