The Missus of True Misfortune

"My  dahling," ...

That is how she always will begin, with a lilt to her speach

Her words slurring together as if she's been ******* on the bourbon from your private store

For every minute and every second of the three hours that she had been gone away

Doing whatever it is that young damsels, who do whatever they please shall do

Then she will wrap her cold arms around you, reminding you of the wintery landscape outside

Putting her lips close to your ears, she will whisper and she will try to tell you again;

"My  dahhling, my  dearest, dearest  friend,"

She pauses, hesitating a little too much for you to know that it is not something good.

But since when have the two of you been friends?

She was just a women, and you were just a lonely old man who needed someone

To take care of your very sore and achy feet from the arthritis that had evolved over the many decades of your life

So why the hell would she call you her dearest friend? When the hell did this happen?

What did she want from you? More? You had given her everything her little heart could ever desire;

The fur coats, the crystal jewels, even that 1997 baby blue convertable with the velvet seats

That you had proffesonally done, not too mention that as well

**** women always want more. More, more, more. Can never get enough can they?

They whine, they snivel, they grovel, and they chirp like little birds when they recieve what they want

But she, Little Miss Want It All, still seems to be left, and always wanting more.

Turning you face her, you notice the little things that you have never seen before

The way her nose is slightly off center, or that her eyes are an eerie blue tang color

The way her breath feels against your old wrinkly skin when she speaks to you softly

"My  dahling, I  need  to  tell  you  something."

She whispers this as she curls her hair around her fingers from where she is standing

Which is behind your real, and expensive leather couch that she had you get imported from Russia

You roll your eyes, thinking you know what the little **** will say;

That she lost the diamond earings you got her, or she got a scratch on the car you bought

And she wants a replacement. ********* Always. This always happened, practically once a month

Money, **** that women to hell! She seemed to just throw it out the window and forget that she had it

Well enough was enough, you could nolonger take this part of her.

No matter how long her legs were in five inch heels, or how beautiful she looked

She seemed to spend every penny that you had ever earned without noticing

Leaning towards you her hair tickles against your face, the smell of cherries floating out

That was the one good thing about her, she always kept herself in tip top shape

But now as she leans over you, her lips inches away from yours;

This is how she will end, her voice reeking of yes, the bourbon from your private store

"My  dahling, it seems  that  I  have  pawned  off  your  house.  And  everything  else  you  own."

 

 

Well  ****

Sometimes I see many a spiteful man in his lifetime, who is a bit two face with his woman. He gives her everything she wants, but just despises her for it. This is my way of telling a story of the smartest woman alive. Payback is a *****
