A Southern girl writes a letter to her boyfriend. Please review, if possible! |
| I am a woman of the South. I have seen times of drought, When the earth splits for want of water And the fortunes shrivel away like the crops. I have been to the shack during slaughter-time, Heard the lamb's final, bleated cry, And seen its pure fleece crimsoned by blood. I have seen the damage done By foam-jawed creatures of the wild, Endured everything from sickness To rude men and whalebone corsets, So losing you wasn't really that bad... You obviously wanted her more than me, And I pity your blind stupidity, your fool's heart. No matter how much I loved you, You're just like everything else- I curse you for an instant, and then I'm over it. |
