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…
