Seeking Someone To Empathize Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

What do you mean,
I haven't shown you any sympathy?
That was the first thing I showed you,
The moment you chose to select me...
As your prey to victimize.
Thinking my respect for you,
Was a sign of weakness.

You just don't remember that,
Because I have been nothing but supportive.
And you are seeking someone to empathize,
With your current surprising financial dilemma.
And I no longer do charity work.
Nor am I a doormat to walk on...
To get you from Point A to B.

No...
Homey don't play games like that!
