I’m Gone

Use me

abuse me

and you’ll lose me

Flake me

Fake me

And you’ll mistake me

Hurt me

Shirk me

And I’ll dessert thee

Push me

Prod me

And flog me.

I thought you were the one

Instead you used me for fun

And now I’m done…

The End, of Us

It’s over

It’s done now

A done deal

I see how.

You cheated

The whole time

Disbelief

You’re a slime.

Just to think

I felt bad

In my guilt

It’s so sad.

I realize

After this

There’s nothing

That I miss.

All your lies

And gaslights

Half told truths

Restless nights.

It’s in vain

Nothing saved

You laid down

Bye I waved.

Now happy?

All alone

Bills and debts

On your own.

Hope you think

As you pray

Was it worth

All those lays???

Prayer of the Shoplifter’s Mate (2006 – 2014)

Originally published 03/31/2024

Sitting alone and she’s hours late, again. Out shopping despite my pleadings not to, again. Three hours late so far, I hope she’s not in trouble, again.

She’s a good person and doesn’t mean any of it. Please hear my prayer closely and distinctly. Dear God, I pray to you on all that is great in the world, for her safe return home. Shes not perfect but bless her the same. Please, if I have anything good or special to be bestowed upon me, give it to her instead. She needs it more than me. I’m not a martyr I just want her to be ok. Coping with another extended stay in jail and being alone would be unbearable. Please hear my prayer, Amen…
