I had a girlfriend once who was pretty, petite and sweet
and seemed angelic – publicly
privately she was still pretty and petite, but forget about
the sweet and angelic
she became as annoying as a rabid flea on me, too many
snide, biting remarks
not being a masochist, not taking excessive sh*t from anyone,
I had to leave her
I couldn’t put up with her publicly hidden persona
the insufferable, devilishly real her.
