unhealthy relationships – pamelascanepa

They say the loneliest number is one,

but when all is said and done

Together can become empty, and you ask why?

Sometimes there’s a point, they no longer look you in the eye.

******

Sometimes, when you are just one

reaching out to many, you feel more whole

because when trying to stay together,

you denied and shuttered areas of your soul.

*****

You may be blessed to stay together,

or as one, you can still withstand the weather

You be you; as one or part of two, neither one is better.

I should’ve known that bird would be trouble.

On the way home from the pet store: “Hurry up Bi#$@!”

I jumped. Why do I go for charming rogues? He’d shown no signs of this tendency at the store. Figures.

At home: “I’m f*&%^g hungry!”

Geez, he reminded me of my ex, Wade. We hadn’t spoken in years. Was this a reincarnation?

This went on for weeks. He’d eye me while eating his food, and blurt out “b*&^%” one more time.

No woman should put up with this. I sold him for two bucks in a garage sale. As is.
