Advice for the Chronic Lovelorn

It could be you

There's always gonna be a******s 

Who wanna break your heart 

You gotta learn to weed them out 

before they even start

There's always going to be evil

cum sucking succubus 

Don't let her get you p***y whipped 

Male Sovereignty's a must

So that girl won't give you any

That guy's a giant prick 

Genitals are bargaining chips 

Either p***y or dick 

Relationships are compromise 

and putting up with s**t 

Sure there's love and all that crap 

But that's just part of it 

You gotta know just where you stand

You gotta draw the line 

Cause if you have no boundaries 

They'll cross them every time 

They're gonna walk all over you 

and use you like a tool 

And you know it's all your fault 

Cause you're a spineless fool 

Yes I know I'm crass as f**k 

It's kinda what I do 

A poem by Baby Ricochet

That should have been a clue 

Author's Note

You want to know two things that make or break a relationship? I'm not talking the "She's so fine I'll make her mine" part I'm talking standing at the CVS checkout one o'clock in the morning with Tampons and Midol part. The two things that will make or break a relationship is compromise and boundaries. As soon as you move in with an intimate partner, that's it. You're going to be doing things you don't want to do, going places you don't want to go, watching entertainment you don't want to see and hanging out with people you don't particularly like and you're going to have to like it, at least half of the time because that's sharing a life together and that's why you're involved in an intimate relationship. The other one, boundaries, is where there's no compromise. Both people need to be very clear as to what these are and retain a large part of their individuality because if they don't everyone's going to be miserable in no time. It's just a fact of life kids.

we don't draw the line, it's not a partnership...it's the user and the used...

colorful piece....you do have to know where you stand...for sure.

You speak the truth. You do have a way with words:

Relationships are compromise
and putting up with s**t
Sure there's love and all that crap
But that's just part of it

You gotta know just where you stand
You gotta draw the line
Cause if you have no boundaries
They'll cross them every time

from the title, to the picture, to the piece itself--it is serious, deep, funny, real, in-your-face entertainment told in your unique, awesome way.. I also always enjoy your author's notes.. they explain, expand, and deepen the messages of your pieces.. its like an "all-in-one, non-stop shop, come and get it" kinda thing that is so appealing and darn right FUN!. you have your mind, your heart, and your funny bone tickled and walk away feeling like you got your money's worth.. another awesome piece that has just the right amount of attitude and information with your witty humor.. I thoroughly enjoyed..

one thing I noticed.. had me stumbling...
"Who gotta learn to weed them out"... did you mean "you" instead of "who?"... flows that way better in my head, not sure.. may just be me.. won't be the first time.. :)
