I read this raw and true poem as if were written by a spouse of a sex addict. Many times I’ve heard spouses say that they can take the slips but they can’t take the lies. The last two lines ring true of this statement. I edited out the profanities and hope this spouse’s angry words don’t offend anyone. Keep in mind, it is ok to have these thoughts and feelings, what is not ok is to verbally abuse your spouse (addict or not) with your offensive language. Acting out in anger can be very damaging to a relationship!
At Least One of Us is Going to Hell for What You’ve Done
by properlypeculiar
Oh, go and f***ing
f*** another girl
Make it through another lonely night
You don’t need me
I wish you’d not pretend you did
You’ll keep me hanging on the line until I cut you off with something cute like a stutter
or a clever arrangement of words that won’t ever cut you quite deeply enough
to send you racing back to being breathless with me
Say processed, vomited, vapid lines out loud
Close your eyes at just the right moment
Put your arm around me just where it fits
F*** the world forward and back again before my eyes
but don’t ever lie to me
