Please listen to me very carefully
for I will open up to you entirely
In reality, there are others like me
Because of people like you, some cease to be
I am this way because I was taught
I am this way because that is how I was brought up
I was and loved to be your favorite book
detailed illustrations which you seemed to overlook
Though treated like some kind of a king,
I really never ever asked for anything
Though you were treated like a queen,
You manage to take advantage of me...

As mean as you were, I remember I gave you a note
Not to long and not to short I wrote:

"‘My love for you is like the weight of the ocean, started off with soft gentle drops,  becoming full, heavy, deep....’ One thing I wish it had would be a nozzle.  Just to drain all the unwanted hazardous feelings.  Besides, draining is better than a crack.  Without hassle or pain, just open, release everything you don't want, close it, then find someone else who can fill it with a different meaningful kind of love. As for a crack, if healed, the scar will always be there, thus worsening the scar if reopened..."

After the first sentence, I realized who I was writing too
When you read it you never would've thought it was for you
Yet with a smile you decided to praise me anyway
going about your way enjoying the rest of your day
Always seeming to relish the way I talk to you
But your eyes persue another man in your view
I do not hate you for being the way you are
I just wasn't thinking when we met at the bar
You never cared much for the talking or the listening
but I sure put up with much of your selfish whining
I really really thought I could just let it all out right now
but it's to late cause you're showing other men you can meow...

The Wholly Book of Genesis by Jay Dubya

The Wholly Book of Genesis is a humorous satire on the first book of the Old Testament where the Story of Creation, the building of Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah and the families of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are thoroughly spoofed and broadsided.
