Consumed and Tossed Asunder

You tear me apart with every word

You strip away my flesh and bone

This situation is quite absurd

You’re toxic treatment I can’t condone

You manipulated me and told lies

Many false words led me astray

Relationships dwindle when the love dies

The best parts of me were ripped away

I covered you in my blanket of love

You smothered me in your cruel hate

I brought you peace like a dove

And you left me to choke on my fate

Through great effort I lost all that weight

And I gained a lot of muscle

You never noticed until it was too late

Rendering moot much my hustle

A starving man, I was neglected

As your love was withheld from me

Instead of being protected

Your ugliness consumed me

I wanted to be your lover

Though you never really did care

Instead I got screwed over

And you were my cross to bear

So I had bid goodbye to you

Long before you left our sacral bed

Today I try to think the best of you

But worms of your memory burrow holes in my head… ~ ~ ~

Don’t Walk Away, Run!!!

Crocheted Donut by Jenny Gallego

Your love was as satisfying as a crocheted donut for breakfast.

Your compassion was as deep and rich as a red solo cup.

Your passion was as fiery as the heart of a thousand year old glacier.

Your emotional abuse was as consistent as the phases of the moon.

Your disdain for me and anything I found remotely interesting was a death blow.

Taking all of these into consideration, I walked away and never looked back lest I be turned to stone…

Not To Marry Anymore

The brightness of my life

Gets dimmer with each wife.

To maintain my Zen

I’ll never marry again.

It’s ok I have learned a lot

I appreciate all that I’ve got.

Thank you for reading this little ditty

As I live happiness instead of self-pity…
