VENOM 13



 
Venom 13

I just need an explanation for their actions.
In the beginning it was comfortable,
But he pulled away.
His actions spoke louder than words,
she submitted to him again.

She jumped through hoops for him.
He did nothing for her.
Am I understanding clearly what I am seeing, and hearing?
Several moments engaging;
It was meaningless.
I have to pick up their pieces,
Seeing them suffer is a sickness.

She has been used and abused so many times.
Over and over she gives herself.
Waiting to be adored,
Waiting to be respected,
Waiting to be chosen;
By a man who will never love her.

I am left to pick up the pieces of her,
Battered and broken:
Poor mother,
Poor sister,
Poor friend,
Poor cousin;
Poor is the woman who submits to the whims of a man.
Poor is the woman who waits for a man to complete her.
Poor is the woman who allows herself to be used.

And…what about him: a simple mortal man.
Unenlightened,
Unethical,
Inconsiderate:
A womanizer.

He claims he is original,
But he is the generic copy of every self loathing man.
He is a taker of flesh and energy.
He has a poisoned arrow, 
aiming for the core of her being.
He is a predator posing as a house pet.


And…he will never change his ways.
He will never call again.
He will never see her again.
He will never speak to her again.
He has ceased to exist for her,
Because he chose it to be that way.

I see her on the windowpane,
Wondering when will he come and join their family.
Their younglings long to see their father,
They miss the man who created them.

Meanwhile; he is aiming 
his poisoned arrow 
into another woman’s core.
