glittering glass, cubic zirconia a pretty falicy
sequins and fake pearls gauche their way across my sky
cut me with your kisses of feigned compassion
because you need to go now, lead a higher profile life
I'm no longer good enough
to introduce to your new "this is my other yacht" friends
good enough to fuck after every show with flowers in hand
and hang on your arm in the half-dressed clubs
but not anymore.
toss me tenderly
upon the garbage heap, there I shall sit its queen
preening my bruised ego and filing daggers in my teeth
realized I'm not tough enough to go toe to toe with the likes of you
I require more armor, more jewels, more lacquer and veneer
I'll ask for a raise, inflate the price of my company
pay for painted nails, buy a face, and get real diamonds for my toes
and maybe then I'll be good enough for you (me)
by then at least I'll be hard enough to love again.

a very powerful and hasty write
you have penned an epitaph to so many ladies and their trials with the opposite sex, I sincerely hope that this was only a muse, but unfortunately I can feel that this must have happened in some sort within your life,,,blessings of life,light,love...Fire Storm

Whoa.. this is pretty deep. So much of how I feel. My husband is jus an incosiderate jerk.. that does not realize the value of marriage I think.. Or the things that go along with it. This made me more angry than sad.. but I like that!! Thank you. Great job writing this. Good luck here hon!!
