Day: November 3, 2024

i sink into in my arm chair
sadness weighs me down
i don’t want to ever get up
i wish i could just die here

my veronica died last week
and she will never be again
and we will never be again
my life and my heart done

without her I have nothing
my whole world is gone
and I don’t know if I can
go on without her love

he told his wife aliens came into their home
and abducted him to their spaceship,
and put him in a tube standing upright.
extracted some of his essences out of him
for what he said he wasn’t really sure.
his wife thought he’d gone slightly insane;
she wondered if he needed to be evaluated
to see if his mental faculties were intact
until she saw the aliens manifest one night
and take her husband away forever.
now she’s a person of interest to the police,
and they think she should be evaluated
because of her insane story about aliens
being the cause of her missing husband.

she boasted about being a feminist.
she was overly vocal about causes
except when men began to invade
womens’ sports and dominate them.
i couldn’t believe she stayed mum
about that trampling of women’s rights,
about the losses of college scholarships,
and women getting injured by males.
i concluded she was a hypocrite,
and her feminist bravado rang hollow.

with crazy brianna my heart went off the rails
and i lost my ever-loving mind.
with brianna my bank account got drained
and i almost went irrevocably insane.
after five agonizing years i finally got away from her
and began a normalized brianna-free life.
but that wasn’t enough for crazy her;
she stalked me and put a kitchen knife in my back
and almost succeeded in killing me.
now crazy brianna sits in prison for many years
and my physical and mental wounds are healed
and i have a new start with a saner woman
