Do Not Date a Writer
Do not date a writer,
As she will write about every detail.
She will write about how she helped you with your meds
At 3 am when she could-
And should have been sleeping.
Or how she held you
When you needed it
And scratched your head
Just right.
Or she’ll write about
How she always made your
breakfast perfectly
And loved to cook for you.
Maybe she’ll write about
When you showered together,
Messing around and splashing
Each other like two kids love sick.
She’ll write about how
she dried you off after
Those showers because
You couldn’t reach your back.
She’ll write about how
She made you soup and tea
And got you Gatorade
When you were sick.
She’ll add in how she
Knows all your favorite spots
To be rubbed so you
Feel better.
She’ll write about
How she knew how to
Please you in bed.
She’ll write about how
When she needed to be held,
You left to hand out
With your friends.
She’ll write about how
On Valentine’s Day
She asked what you wanted
For dinner.
She made you
Steak
Potatoes
And carrots
But you didn’t
ing
Eat
Because you were ‘too full’
After eating three sandwiches
When you knew she was
Trying to do something special.
She’ll write about how
she cried that night.
She’ll write about how
All the times she went down on you
Yet you didn’t return the favor
Despite your claims
To ‘love eating out’.
She’ll write about how
You pleased yourself
But never her.
She’ll write about the night
She wanted to cut
So you broke a glass,
Took a piece for yourself,
And handed her a shard.
She’ll write about how
You flipped when she
Reached for your phone,
Yet let you go through hers.
She’ll write about how
You acted different
After your ‘walks’,
When you really went
To bang girls other girls.
She’ll write about all
The stupid fights,
Where she would end up
Crying and you told her
To ‘stop the ing waterworks’.
She’ll write about
How often you put her down
And never brought her back up.
She’ll write about
How ugly you made her feel
How many times you were the reason
She wanted to end it all.
She’ll write about
How much you hurt her.
But...
Most importantly..
She will write
About how after
You left,
Things aren’t quite
As bad.
She’ll write about
How she realizes
That she is a diamond
In a world of pebbles,
The best you could ever
Get.
She’ll write about how
Yes,
She has metal health issues,
But you’re not the reason she wants to hurt herself now.
She’ll write about
How her hands
Are meant for greater things
Rather than pleasing
An ungrateful man
