Chickenshit

he can’t let go
either
because he needs it as much as you do
he’s just a bigger chickenshit than you
I mean that as a compliment
we’re all chickenshits
at least you have the decency to admit it
at least you can admit it

he can’t let go
because he knows he needs you
but is not worthy
he’s a bigger asshole than he imagines you can accept
as if your tolerance of “friends” and “hanging out”
instead of “couple” and “dating”
means nothing

he can’t let go
because he’s a needy little bitch
the biggest by far
he can’t call it what it is
and you overlook it
because what else are you going to do
you can’t throw out the trash
until you are absolutely sure it’s rotting
maybe that smell is normal
considering

    Unfortunately, I’ve smelled that offensive aroma one too many times in my life. Eventually though, the garbage must be put on the curb along with all things fed up. I liked this medicated, because it’s got power behind it even though it’s about resignation. 🙂

    Resignation…Yes. It’s the fucking state of affairs for too many of us for too much of the time. (And keep in mind, I’m practically happy with my dating situation right now…and also wondering not if but how ugly the ending will be. I pray he’s not this kind of asshole. I need some variety, dammit.)

    Life warps people’s ability to connect and I can honestly empathize with that. I use trash exactly how Val says…trash = situations that become unlivable, relationships that don’t adapt to meet your needs, not necessarily trash = the person.

    Granted, I had a very clear image of my ex when I wrote this and so, for me, the trash = my ex-boyfriend.
