Signs Along the Roadway Detour Ahead

Going awol when needed the most Choosing truancy an uncaring ghost Stealing my voice In your offhanded way Invalidating the least little thing I might say or twist it untill the true meaning gave way And when you discovered I would not break there was no route too low to take A monstrous ego fed at my expense the kick at my lowest brought pleasure immense One thing I could count on without a doubt When I needed a champion you'd deliver a lout Standing alone at a funeral,as you greeted mourners front row, when asked you said It's the very least one man could do for another Not taking for a moment into account the deceased my very own brother The list could go on I don't care to recall The what wheres and when how I came to feal small Till one day it came down to me or you I had to choose me I saw that and do With eyes unblinking I stare at what is decidedly clear You really don't care for me at all And I no longer wish to be here I am an interchangable part a service provider at best Sex service and supply I failed the unpassable test I had to be a failure so you could feal a success your greatest source of pleasure seeing me under duress I hate this for you truely I do but I hate it for me even more lets be perfect strangers now as we happily were before

Much as a strangler vine that weaves its way in and all about in pretence of caress only to strangle the life out of the object of its attention.Note I said object as the worth measured as a means of providing service ,a tool as it were, and not an iota more .
