he would say I left a good marriage
(he didn't beat me)
(he didn't drink)
(he didn't cheat)
(he didn't mind fucking me when I was not in
the mood)
(he didn't mind weekly divorce chats)
(he didn't make me happy)
(he didn't let me cook for him)
(he didn't let me help with the bills or budget)
because I was a faithless whore
but we both know better
and that is all
that matters

I broke his heart so badly
he wasted no time in replacing me
one soul mate after another
asked me if I needed help
because he is a benevolent kind of guy
but he did not help me
he could not be bothered
my pussy was no longer in the equation
I gave it to someone else
so fuck me
I had no worth
and he is lying
because he does that
in his hypocritical pseudo good guy way

I am faithful to you
because I love and respect and adore you
the thought of being with anyone but you
repulses me
you don't make my skin crawl
you don't infuriate me
you don't play games
that make you superior or make you daddy
to my electra

you were with Dior for four years
when she stopped wanting sex the last year and a half
because she was so depressed
you didn't make her feel guilty for not wanting
to fuck you
you have told me from the beginning
sex is only good when the woman wants it
and Dior left with all the furniture
she fucked you over
yet you continued to help her out
you have every reason to be bitter and hate her
but you aren't
and you don't

my gawd
the shit we have survived
the hell we have lived through
thank you for being patient
all the times I cried
because I felt guilty
all the times I asked you if I could be friends
with my ex
when for whatever reasons I made myself believe
there was a chance in hell
of that

when the truth is
I am honest and hard
and he deals in soft lies
disguised as a victim
I'm so glad he appreciates my poetry
but true friends
never doubt your character
and don't look down at you smugly
while you flail
wailing in the bed you made.
