My sensitive prince,

With your disgust and contempt

For humanity

In general

And for betraying women like

Your mother

Specifically

You want me out of your sight

Not just for a time

But for all time

So go ahead

Cruelly dash me against

The rocky crags of your words

And yes, I will go

Though I do not intend

To drown

On account of you

**Inspired by Shakespeare's "Hamlet", of course**

After all this time

Nothing's changed

You don't want me

When just anyone will do

Anyone to temper the pain

Lessen the loneliness

Vanquish the lust

After all this time

Nothing's changed

So strange to be "loved"

By someone that despises women

No wonder he hurt me

And let me down

It's his default mode

He's incapable of any other kind of behavior

Incapable of trust and healthy relationships

You list my attributes

Crow of my beauty

Say I'm unlike all other creatures of my sex

How I am well-suited for you on so many levels

Your ideal mate

I surpass all others

So the most devastatingly ironic thing of all:

You continuously reject me, you won't wait for me

You will not wait for the gourmet feast of which you've sung the praises

No, you'll just grab some drive-thru, fast food slop while you're out

Don't cry to me when you get indigestion later, you dumb ass.

I'm no more a receptacle of your love

Than a wadded up tissue

I'm your current place of choice

For mental masturbation

I'm just a place your mind goes

For some temporary stimulation

And then you quickly toss me aside
