Plausible Vengeance Poem by Kristy Artmann

loving…he's not very loving
emotion...he shows none
trust...he defies reasoning to deserve trust
respect...he only prides in himself
honest…he’s devious in every way
abhorrence…that’s what I should rightly have for him
happiness…he only does things to make himself happy
sympathetic…laughable to think he harbors such
closeness…he’s distant even when he’s near
pleasure…he isn’t satisfying my essential needs
plausible vengeance I have in store
no one to argue what I implore
