PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I'm not surprised....

when everytime I arrive home

I'm not touched

when the first thing you touch

is my pockets

I could've sworn you were the cops

I'm not surprised

when everytime mating calls

you never answer back

you beat me in the head with

the constant headaches, the,

"I've been working all day, maybe later"

Fuck, I never thought your definition

of later meant several months

And I'm STILL waiting!

I'm not surprised

when I say I'm going across town

you wanna tag along

not just to be with me

but for me to be just there

when Nine West is having a sale

and your thirst for shoes is worst

than a vampire's lust for blood

over 40 pairs and you've worn half

and you want me to get em

I'm not surprised

when you're with your work colleagues

and to this day I never met any of them,

let alone speak to them

are you ashamed of me?

am I only good for one thing?

am I not good enough to fit your criteria

tell me



I won't be surprised.
