Caveman's Comeuppance

You drew me in with charm, smiles and promises To a world of conditional love ‘Do as I say, woman. I am man! UGG!' A caveman, no backbone, hunched ignorance Abuse your middle name Told me I would never amount to much Without you I’d be nothing ‘No one want you. You spawned. Secondhand. Used up. Whore’ I dreamed of escape With nowhere to go My home a cage In his cave Me his slave One reason to live, my kids I barely cared Months turned into years My zestful soul ebbed to complete numbness Not a hope left For happiness Life lost all attraction I looked up Devoid of fear And begged ‘If this is it, as good as it gets Please take me now’ My prayer fell on death ears You thought everything was okay Mr. Complacency Each day strung together in exactly the same way How could you see the draconian change in me? Taking my life for granted You were sure I would be around for good 'WRONG *******!' I plotted and schemed Stock piled on essential And when you least expected it THE END
