I’m standing outside,
waiting for her to
finish her drink.
I told her I wanted
a cigarette.
She said she didn’t
want to be rushed.
I said, “don’t hurry.”
But I’ve been out here
for ten minutes now,
and I’m not sure
where she is.
I smoke another cigarette.
She’s still inside.
Then I say “fuck it” and leave.
I’m sure she’ll go home
with someone else anyway.

Either that, or she’ll have a good long walk.

Didn’t see that coming.
Sorry love. Either you need to communicate better for you need to get your needs filled elsewhere. This thing doesn’t seem win/win to me. I could be wrong. I kind of need an emotional masochist around me being a bit sadistic and all…but it’s go to be mutually beneficial. Right?
Don’t ask me though. I know nothing. Still trying to figure it all out as I go along. 😞 hug! ❤️

I woke up
This morning
Scratched my nuts
Nuked some Coffee
From yesterday.
Went in
Took a dump
Realized it was Kleenex
Or nothing
And wished this
Was on paper
So I could wipe
With it.
Carry on. Sucks to be you. Next.

Of course. It’s not art, it’s entertainment. I thought about opening a site for this sort of thing, with merit badges and everything like the stuffy, boring short story people have. You know, win this month’s flash SOC, get to pee in Starbucks without buying anything.

I know it seems like a shot at her but it isn’t. You don’t seem to have much respect or love for yourself. Kinda makes me sad.. I hope someday that changes for you.
