The Go-to-Girl

  You don’t see it,

      but you’re just backup,

            the go-to-girl

when he wants to feel

                   significant;

       he doesn’t really need you.

             Don’t look at me

   (like I’m crazy),

                     you know damn well

               I’m right.



     What difference does it make?

It’s been a while since vanity kept me awake;

                          I’m dying,

         you know.

                    Besides,

            beggars can’t be choosers

and I’m spiritually crippled.

                                 I told you yesterday I couldn’t breathe.

  

        Then stop

                    sucking in your stomach.
