HIGH MAINTENANCE TM
In their
unreal world,
women want high-end things,
like Louis Vuitton putting them
in debt.

Chaos spreads like metastatic growth
In carefully designed manipulation
Family therapy
The puppet mistress casts her chords
Feeds her prey with miserable traction
Border lines crossed
Control is the trade she plies in glee
It corrodes and shelters dysfunction
Emotional bribery
Responsibility declared abandonment
Regrets resentment sadness anger
You make your bed and …
Vile venom sheathed in candy wrapper
She’s burning all her feeble bridges
Retreat the only hope

A stunning woman, so beautiful and polite,
But causing concern, I'm thinking twice,
My girl puts my credit card to much use
Tantamount to severe financial abuse,
Although, I do enjoy her other vice.
Today
you look
like a peanut
assaulted
in a bad neighborhood...
Back in time
you dreamed to date
Brad Pitt
but he was taken
from Angelina Jolie
a true man eater
then you hooked-up
with a hairy biker
a body builder
who is about to explode
like a thanksgiving turkey
feed in steroids and cocaine
like a pig in an all you can eat
garbage joint
who goes crazy
and beats the crap out of you
at night
and early in the morning...
See
it's white snow
but dogs poop
on it...
High heeled leather pumps; the best will only do
In all different styles and colors; the most brilliant of hues
Gorgeous diamond jewelry; a temptation not to resist
Hone my very essence and surely enhance my wrists
Managing hair appointments; a color and highlight is a must
Angelic to the naked eye; beauty is what we lust
Imperfections not visible; expensive makeup applied to disguise
Neiman Marcus and Marshal Fields; fully stocked with vital supplies
Tanning bed awaits; a special bronzer first I must get
Enriched with vitamins and minerals; top shelf purchase let’s not forget
Nylons hosiery and lingerie; Victoria’s Secret now exposed
A variety of silk and satins; frilled with lacy garnished bows
New car smell in the air; a fast sporty convertible is what I seek
Candy apple red with adorning leather seats; all which I bespeak
Exhausting idea of being a perfect wife; beauty's the weakness on this path of life
