I started off
Dangling the proverbial carrot
Buying a new truck- for work of course
Promising my undying support,
Because he knew he already had my love
When that didn’t work I tried reason
“I’m working three jobs
Buying the food
Carrying it in the house
Cooking it
Washing the dishes
What may I ask is wrong with this picture?”
Sly little smirk,
Toss of the head
Walk out the door- was his only response.
Eventually the level of frustration was so-
That even I got tired of listening to myself
Sliding down the back of the bathroom door in tears
“You can’t go through life being nothing but a good fuck.”
“Watch me.” He replied. And I did.
Written in response to Chelsea Ann Owens call for Terrible Poetry about Motivating Lazy People. This is the adult version.

Yea, I’ve known fellas like that. Great, if that’s all you want from the jerk. Elsewise, just watch me watch him go.

I don’t know if this is terrible enough, Violet. The situation, yeah, but not the poem.
