Cheers, Darling

Here's to three years of saying yes
when I should have said no

Of letting you elongate me,
educate me into someone more like you
Of giving and giving
like bloody father Christmas
and getting a Sahara drought in return

Here's to lying crying on the floor as you stood over me
You were unable to comprehend the words
'Please' 'No' and 'I’m too weak to fight you back'

Here's to three years of feeling old, tired and overused
Here's to wishing a car would run me over,
rather than keep hiding in my room
from you

Here's to the girl in your photo
at that concert last Thursday
Looking chummy and warm in your arms
and I thought you would make such a great couple

I wish you all the best.
