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
