BENEVOLENT BLOOD - SUCKERS

The people that use you
and abuse you
are the ones that you show respect for.
Yes, they are the ones
that you treat with kind and gentle words.
They care nothing for you
but only look at you as a meal ticket
or someone to fix their flat tires
feed their dogs and cats
and fix their fences.
Let's not forget your friends
that surface once a year at tax time
for your free services and H&R Block advice.
These are the ones that you
spread your  blessings upon
until there is no more want.
But "moi" - who loves and adores you,
who does anything for you,
who gives -  while other's take
To me - you give the fuzzy end of the lollipop.
I know that I am no Marilyn Monroe;
but even a dash of respect
to pepper my feelings
would be nice.
But no -  I receive the flak of your frustration
the dousing of your angry fuel
as you pour it upon me
then light the match
watching me go up in flames
in agony I burn
Hoping and begging
that you will find one ounce of mercy
and throw the water of apology my way -
a few kind words to say.  
But NO..... let the bitch burn.
I'm still amazed
that the girl-friend that borrowed all that money
never paying back a dime -
who stole your car
and who you are -
who cheated on you
and threw it in your face
You'd keep your cell phone on for her -
But you shut it down on me.
