Bitterness for no reason - 1/23/2008

The key to a mans heart
not the stomach as once thought
but simply the picking of battles
the highroad.

yes we realize that we are imperfect
yes we realize that we are lazy and self centered
yes we realize that we forgot to get that at the store
well maybe we didn't realize that until just now, but you get the picture

but we also remember like they are gold,
the times when we realized we screwed up
and you didn't berate us with an effusive explanation
about how we don't love you,
we don't respect you,
we don't notice you.

That my friend, is the key to a mans heart
the ability to pick battles
to not cry wolf so that they all blend into one,
one drawn out, repeated, redundant attack
about how we are nothing more than childish failures
slowly wrecking your life.

if that fails, go back through the stomach,
as at least then he will get fat and probably not
have the option to leave you for someone who
doesn't seem to hate him as much

effusive \ih-FYOO-siv\, adjective:
Excessively demonstrative; giving or involving extravagant or excessive emotional expression; gushing.
