Face Me and Be a MAN

I should've known not to believe you.

 

to be completely honest it doesn't bother me like it used to. and yes honey, it used to hurt.

maybe the world should consider gluing your mouth together and excluding you from the world; just like you did me.

You lying piece of ______ how dare you forsake me?!

i shoudl’ve remembered that Judas betrayed Jesus with a single kiss so how, no why, did I expect you to  NOT hurt me

was it because you promised so after I held our still borne love to my chest trying desperately to revive it?

Maybe it was all because I believed that you would come back.

 

EITHER WAY I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN!

 

you would make the best deadbeat if it wasn't for child support and vengeance shallow enough to swim in

Who am I to you?

Do I not have a heart? Soul? transparency to become everything to you yet nothing that can be with you

Why do you _____ me so much?

Snatching my breath with every single word that’s escaped your lips and died once it’s touched reality’s fresh air.

_____ you!

I safely avoided chemistry and passed blithely under marriage and children in avoidance

I was doing quite fine before you ask me for your hand and my heart lurched in fear that you were going to kill us. Then I denied

you grabbed our life and threw it in a used sock to sweep the patio and run the grease off your car before you left.

How dare you?! Your mother should have named you Judas and mines Eve for they belong together more commonly than perceived.

Maybe then we could have fell and stayed in love without ever wondering why

We would have been just that bad ___ and been so idiotic that we wouldn't have even noticed at all.

Straight over our heads we would have been like clouds with nothing on this earth to hold us down; not even the words we promised to each other.

I held my end of the balloon but you let yours go; don't come crying now because you can’t find it

And Am I to be of any assistance to you?

I’m mentally paralyzed from the waist down; I can’t even move my smile.

Its permanent and I’m not happy

though I rarely see it unless we take pictures in front of the mirrors of our souls.     

What kind of universe are you living on where this ______ is okay?

How dare you?

How

Dare

YOU
