An Ode to the Hole in the Bottom of my Foot
« on: October 16, 2012, 02:57:25 am »
Fuck off
Go away
No one ever liked you
No, not even me
I don't know why I put up with you for so long.

Don't pretend you didn't see this coming
I never mattered to you, either
Just a safe place to hide
From the cold
You didn't even ask to be let in.

I should have listened to my friends
When they said you were no good
But I was too proud
And too dumb
And too trusting.

So I let things slide
And I hoped that you'd get better
That if I was patient
And kind
Things would resolve themselves.

I was only a kid.

I remember that night,
The light by my bedstand
When I finally had enough
And tried to make you leave
And found it hurt too much.

I was ashamed
Of myself
Of you
Of the pain
So I hid it, pretended it didn't matter.

And you dug your fucking heels in
Bastard that you are
Wheedling your way into my life
And my body
Like it's a thing you already own

No more of this bullshit.

I will boil you in acid
And I will drag you out by force
I'll cut you down
And throw you out
With the rest of the morning garbage

And it will hurt,
I know it hurts
And this hole you leave in me
May never, ever heal
I just have to hope it will.

Because I'd rather spend my life
Walking around
With a goddamn hole in my foot
Than spend one more minute
With you.

I don't know if this is about a romantic partner or a plantar wart.

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

The "boil you in acid" part is what gives it away

That assumes one is unwilling to pursue that course of action in both circumstances.

It's depressing that this is the longest running physical relationship I've ever had.

Aw, man. :(

If you can help Little Orange get them dealt with while they're still small(er), it's much better than waiting. I was a dumbass and left them around for over a decade without taking them seriously.

Also, thanks. Hope your adventures in holes end well, too.

My dad had one that choked off the circulation to his second toe and they amputated the whole toe. He used to get phantom itching. Weird.

When I got them, they burned them out. They used a little gun thingie that shot lightning.
