Letter to George

Dear George

I guess this will be the final straw

Drawn as messy as your doodles

All over your pads and mine

Filled with blood

You left me alone to deal with

Our mistake a second time

Was never on our side

Neither was your temperament

Or the way I need assurance

What you call neediness

Is me reaching out

Just asking for love

From my one person

What you call needing space

Is actually you being selfish

Because your reaction

Your lack of involvement

In any way possible

Dusting your hands

Of any involvement or feeling

Are there still beautiful things?

In the space that is supposed

To hold your soul?

The first time a miscarriage

This time a miscarriage abortion

Tell me again

How I never talk

About how I feel, to be real

When you don’t want to talk

To me at all

Well here they are

All the times I wanted to talk

But the wall you keep up

Makes it impossible

To feel safe enough

To open right up

And bare my heart and soul

To someone who wouldn’t even offer

To pay to get rid of

Your fetus.

Cant pay up with support

Won’t pay up physically

Wash your hands

Shake them out

And let them air dry out

Side is where you never go

Out of your comfort zone

All the distasteful jokes I made

To hide my hurt and pain

About having to get rid of something

I once wanted so badly with you before.

I now realize I’d been a fool

A fool still in love

With someone who

Could never love me the way I deserve
