(even though all her

friends told her the contrary),

that even though you had not a cent

to your name, even though

you had a string of broken

relationships left in your wake,

even though you mentioned that

your lives were not

compatible (in any way, shape or

form), even though you didn’t

want the things that she wanted in

the “future” (hell, you don’t even

use the motherfucking word),

she swore that she could

fix

you,

she swore that she could

make

you

right,

she swore that she could

adjust

your

settings,

so you looked & acted just a lil’ more

like

she

wanted---

oh, what a f*****g shame that all these

plans & strategies

that she had ready to apply,

were not redeeming qualities

in

your

eyes.
