What are ploits and why do they have so many exs
Shouting claim overtly loud
Shall I ex……………………..pand
It’s plain
That Squelchy ex
Tend to give hugs
This one ex is cruciating
Clever when I am pert
Trod when I meant to Trude
Breathing with my exs sighs
Begone fish and old friend
Perfect act ex
……………….it
I thought I could handle your brutal abuse, towards me. Always putting me down,in front of my friends and family.
I thought I could fight this abuse off from you,yet I'm shaking my head in disbelief.
I thought I could love you how you'd demand it,from me.
I thought you might changed in and out of character,that I could say I am in love with.
I thought you might be different from my exs, but time after time. It's just another bad habit for me to attract mean men,like yourself
I thought you would see my good within me.
I thought I was struggling with you by myself.
I thought you were so disrespectful towards me, for the last 8.5 years.
I thought I found my strengths within myself. To finally get out of the abuse home, that you call ours.
I am completely out of good ideas.
This isn't exactly what I'd call good company.
Being alone with you.
A worthwhile bad memory.
To know the future doesn't seem all that bad.
Under certain conditions.
Preconceived notions of cause and effect.
It's unpredictable.
Yet predictable to see exactly where we're going.
Being in love with you seems like a bad idea.
I learned that the hard way.
The touch of a hand on the small of your back.
Afterwards we could both agree.
This was a really bad idea.
