Cord Cutting

Cord Cutting

A Poem by Teddybearlee

I severed another cord today
Cut the flimsy line, to another one, I should not pay
The last bill, I covered for you
As of today, I still don't, see you coming home anew

You wouldn't believe, the pain
These little snips commit, to my ever tortured brain
I've done for you, for so long
But you aren't you, you've been long gone

I'm a self made man, financially
What have you done, except show your greed
I owe you nothing, HEAR ME NOT A THING
Take your guilt and pawn it with the ring

Don't get this twisted please
To all listening, all of my heart still believes
Everything I do has a motive of hope
And continuing loving her is how I cope

Yet even I grow tired of tricks
And being a lapdog retreiving sticks
A year come and gone, I'm not a sugar dad
I'm sure your boy takes care of you financially a tad

Forever I felt still obligated
To help pay your way, since my wife you were fated
But you give no hopeful sign
And I feel helping pay your way out the door, is my own crime

Why should you get the priveleges I earn
I don't have mountains of cash, to give you to burn
If you want my support than see a shrink
Therapy I would pay for, to help you rebuild the link
