The Man who had everything....

It was a beautiful night and the man who had everything was deep in reflection.  He thought back on how his multi-million dollar house, his leased luxury sport utility vehicle, and his trophy wife were all a facade.  He unbuttoned his Armani suit and threw it over his right shoulder, watching it hit a wind gust and fly up over his head and then start drifting towards the soil.  He thought about all the people he had swindled,  all the lies he had told and all the lives he had ruined.  It caused a wry smile to pierce his lips as he loosened his tie and let it fall to his waist and drop towards the soil.  He thought about the wife he hated, the affairs he had loved, and the family he never had.  As he was taking off his shirt he had a terrible thought...."who would feed the dog?" He loved that dog...whatever his name was.  He reached his arms out and started caressing his face loosening his diamond encrusted watch and watched as it dropped to the earth below.  The air was crisp and caused him to shiver as he reached his arms out and began grasping himself as if he were holding someone he truly loved in a warm loving embrace.  As he dropped to the earth below, he smiled..told himself that he loved him, and then closed his eyes forever.
