Queen of Spades

Happy Saturday everyone! Queen of Spades here. It's Day 18 of National Poetry Month and Day 3 of sharing pieces from Private Pain: Amidst These Ashes.
When a person is fed up, one does what one can to establish some level of peace. Sometimes, that does mean someone has to exit stage right.
I present "Eviction Day".
Misery loves company
Which is why I prefer
To be by my damn self!
I admit it took some time
To get back my pride
And realize
That you’re so full of lies!
You didn’t have enough Love for me
To stop dicking these hoes
Any time you pleased.
You didn’t have enough Respect for me
When you flaunted your actions
In multiple degrees.
You didn’t have any Reverence for my mind
Because you played psychological games
All the fucking time.
And the excessive drama
“Made me wanna holla”!
You’re a succubus,
Stealing glee
And feeding off
Any weakness in me.
After the third time,
Rationalizing Love is blind,
Someone should have shaken me
And kicked my damn behind!
The first time only lasted for a week.
The second time occurred
Because I was abandoned
And emotionally weak.
When the third time was given
As a chance of redemption,
Another woman’s nail marks
Appeared on the back.
I tried to maintain,
But had to conclude:
People don’t change
Just to stay with you.
People change
Because it’s something they want to do.
So for me
To even expect you
To eventually be:
An honest
Romantic
Patient
Loving
Partner
That could keep his
Dick out of New Pussy
For as long
As we were involved
Would have been improbable.
So I’m kicking your ass out.
No need to curse and shout,
Stop by my house
Or even at my job.
You had three strikes
And you just struck out.
