Thank God!

You’re here!

Couldn’t do it without you.
Except
I got by this long.
Not that you aren’t captivating
Devastatingly
But honestly
I waited here so long, I had time to think.

Thinking, your delay allowed for much,
Just enough gestation to consider.
I don’t want to keep this relationship.
It’s a hard decision for any woman
To decide if the passion you inspire
at the first spark of your smile
Is when the commitment truly starts.

Communication is unreliable.
Even the body doesn’t know
If pregnancy is right –
until at least the 2nd trimester.
It took you 3 months to decide.
Exactly how long it takes
For me to deserve better.

Always for the best.
I don’t think your extra bags
Are going to fit in my new
lean lifestyle.
Feng shui and shit.
Not to mention
The obvious lack of appreciation.
The internal rhythm and sway
Human nature at its most primal,
Like torture and rough sex.
