Four Quatrains of Neglect
I felt quite neglected
It’s just that simple
Didn’t receive love as expected
Instead of a wave, a ripple
–
I adored you every day
And do many little things
That’s why I feel dismay
That inequality brings
–
I told you truth
And dealt with your vice
You were always were uncouth
With your pack of lies
–
As I pay this final alimony
It hurts me like a knife
A manipulating phony
And never quite a wife…

MEANS TO AN END
I should have left you
A lot sooner than I did
Was just a paycheck
You never cared about me
I was just a means to an end…

It’s fine just fine
The hands of time
Keep us in line
Definitely fine.
–
It’s no use just no use
Don’t be obtuse
There’s no excuse
Just no use.
–
It’s unfair just unfair
You never cared
I wasn’t aware
That’s it’s unfair.
–
It’s cruel just cruel
Played for a fool
Under your rule
Simply cruel
–
It’s mean just mean
That I was unseen
The way it’d always been
Very mean.
–
It’s the end just the end
My selfish friend
No compromise or bend
Goodbye, my friend.

Thank you for teaching me what love is not
Thank you for poisoning my every thought
Thank you for continuously using me
Thank you for emotionally abusing me
–
Thank you for not being generous to me
Thank you for taking advantage of all that you’d see
Thank you for mental slaps with a white glove
Thank you for teaching me I had unconditional love
–
Thank you for showing me all your hate
Thank you for showing me my own strength and faith
Thank you for doubting my every word
Thank you for demonstrating to me the absurd
–
Thank you for weaponizing love and sex
Thank you for empty accounts and bouncing checks
Thank you for the emasculations you gave
Thank you for the respect you’d never save
–
Thank you for not being in my life
Thank you for no longer being my wife
Thank you for the dog and pony
And thank you for that alimony…
