Rocco's lil girl...A Poem by Sapphire BloomWe’re talking again, but in the back of my mind, I think to myself, “How long is this really going to last?”
You say I’m only nice to you when I want something from you… Yet you’re the very same! You shout at me when I don’t answer my phone… Yet you do the very same! Only you manage to maintain filling my voicemail inbox. But I must admit I enjoy laughing at you shouting… “Sarah, why the f**k can’t you answer your phone? Why do you have a phone then???” Or when you get tired of our games, slowly giving up on me ignoring you, and trying to be “nicer” (although it’s not in your nature)… “Baby, I’m trying to get hold of you, if you have time for me let me know…” We’re so alike it drives me crazy!!! When I’m with you, I can’t stand you! But when I’m away from you, I long for you! They say that your relationship with your father, determines how your relationship will be with any other man. Maybe that’s why my relationship with men never work out… They just can’t put up with my “fucked-up” ways, like you do! What other man has ever promised me the moon and the stars, when I was three? What other man has sat by me in hospital time and time again? Telling me, “If you die now, I’m also going to!” What other man has sat in the principle’s office because I had a bully? What other man has bought me roses each Valentine’s day, since I started school? (The amount of roses equivalent to my age) What other man has prayed for me on each birthday? What other man has written me absentee excuses to the teacher? Not because I had a valid reason, just because I didn’t want (lus) to! What other man has put my mother at ease when I started smoking, and became my partner in crime? And what other man has kissed me every morning on my forehead? Maybe that’s why my relationship with men never work out… You’ve created such a high standard… What other man can maintain that? © 2009 Sapphire Bloom |
