Love Survivor - Love Perpetrator

You say you miss me

Yet you leave me in the park

Like so much litter

Not even worth bending over to pick up

I am much, much more valuable than that

You say you love me

Yet you use abusive words

Angry words

Hateful words

You say:

“ Fuck you you’re demonic”

Thus you cast your spell

When invited to overcome this

You say no … no not … it’s not … and

Blame me

I am much, much more astute than that.

You and I spend hours together

I speak the truth

I tell you exactly what is going on with me

As far as I can know … at that given point                                                  

Immediate with my thoughts, feelings, and perceptions

You seek others’ opinions about me

They don’t even know me

Have not spent even 5 minutes with me

You rely on their words

You interact with me based on their perceptions

I am much, much more authentic than that

You say you are this and

You are that

Yet I see blond  wigs

Boudoirs photos

Your cousin … the beard

Moncia’s brother

Laura’s date  …

Which was discreetly confided to me on Valentine’s day

Red coat … green coat

I am much much more perceptive than that

You say you love me

I guess you did not know

I have been writing poetry since my teens

Even been published

Yet, I am

Much

Much more

Than that

I lack empathy

I almost didn’t write this.
