A Favor

Favor

I know you are frightened or saddened or freaked.
It's there in your words, your despair so unique.
He seems like an asshole I'll gladly admit.
Such wasted potential. Why won't he commit?

The blackness you feel is making you blue.
I know you're obsessed, he's unemployed too.
But please just stop writing, such lurid details.
I get it, you're heartsick. The end of the tale.

Please join a committee that helps other folk.
Help lighten their burden, and loosen their yoke.
Then write a long sonnet of all this good work,
and soon you won't even remember the jerk.

lol, I could've used this poem a couple times before. Fun read, light-hearted and SO true.

Thanks for sharing!
