His Note
I know you’ve never loved me
from the way you always cut
the ground from underneath me
when I most urgently required
your loyal support. I’ve provided
all your little mercenary heart
could want: clothes, money, shoes,
this mansion of a house,
our daughter that you’ve turned
against me. I could never get
your attention, just hostility,
false accusations that I had affairs,
absurd denials that you hadn’t.
I know you for what you are,
and now you’ll have just what
you always wanted. (Signed)
