my baby told me
she was leaving me today
i don’t know what to do
i don’t know what to say
she grabbed some bags
and started packing her stuff
from one room to the next
in a hurry in a huff
and i just stood there
chin, jaw and brain all slack
do i punch her fuckin head in
or do i help her fuckin pack
she told me she was leaving me
cause she’d found another guy
but she wasn’t going to elaborate
on the when the where and why
i’m still ignorantly confused
do i even try to plead my case?
deep inside the hurt becomes rage
i just wanted to kick her in the face
she said it was someone we both knew
and that i’d just have to learn to cope
If it wasn’t for a measure of self-control
I would have strangled her with a rope
this cant be real it isn’t fair
i babbled and mumbled like a child
then she said what she always says
when she wants to make me wild
she’s got me where she wants me
she knows which buttons to push
if i wasn’t in control of all of this anger
she’d be buried somewhere in the bush
her verbal assaults and petty emasculation
are really wearing very thin
when every instinct in my body
says to pop one right on her chin
every single twisted fibre
is telling me to rain on her parade
but i can’t i’m not allowed
so i may have just been saved

I'm glad you put all your rage into this poem then!
The truth will set you free! But not the screaming banshees. They love their prison hulks. Let them scream till the boards break. Let them be swallowed by their own turgid sea.
