Poem 3

It’s funny you thought you were an asset

Moving about my life just as comfortably as you pleased

What you failed to realize was that you were in fact a good time transformed into a liability

Like a new toy, your shininess began to fade away and my desire to place you at the bottom of the toy box was great

No longer did I have the energy to entertain your presence

The space between my thighs was crowded with names and faces that I could no longer recall

I am spent

I too became comfortable

Losing myself

Misinterpreting your consistency for care

For the sake of pillow talk

I was willing to keep you around

Willing to ignore that I deserved more

Than a man who stayed around because it was convenient

I could no longer live in untruths

I wanted more from someone who could offer me nothing

Being your good time girl was okay for the moment

And to that end, I say thank you but the bottom of the toy box is where I must leave you
