Redeeming Qualities

when she saw you she knew d e e p d o w n (even though all her friends told her the contrary), that even though you had not a cent to your name, even though you had a string of broken relationships left in your wake, even though you mentioned that your lives were not compatible (in any way, shape or form), even though you didn’t want the things that she wanted in the “future” (hell, you don’t even use the mother****ing word), she swore that she could fix you, she swore that she could make you right, she swore that she could adjust your settings, so you looked & acted just a lil’ more like she wanted--- oh, what a ****ing shame that all these plans & strategies that she had ready to apply, were not redeeming qualities in your eyes.
