Add More Oil (Free verse) by heartlessempath
I suppose you think Iâm stupid,
When really Iâm just wrapped in
Ignorance, and bathing in oblivion.
Which is like bubbles,
A soft cocoon,
They pop every so often,
And I am obliged to
Pour more oil into the tub
So I can stay decent and
Naïve and so that you will
Not notice that
Underwater there is not a girl,
Simply me and what you made of that.
Not a whole lot, Iâd say.
Argue me if you wish to lose,
Iâm everyoneâs girl
Do as you please.
Cheshire grin, and a
Grateful nod your way for the
Mutual adoration, which is
Why people fall in love in the first place.
That, and a tax break.
Kids, minivan and a dog named
Spot, because you let the kids love him,
When youâre the one cleaning up after it.
Still cleaning up after me, too.
Ever wish life were as simple as
A bubble bath.
Add more oil,
Iâm starting to understand.
