Do we grate one your nerves??
Do we make you feel pain?
When you think it's all over, does it get worse?
Can we rip out your heart and take pleasure?

Are we confusing and strange?
Crabby at the mention of another girl's name?
We're unintelligent and useless,
aren't we all the same?

You call us all sorts of names,
Weren't we "sweetie" last night...?
The name you call us now will start a fight.
Refer to us as all sorts of things...

We're wenches, and witches, we're even...(you know.)
Yet you stay... now don't you?
This spoon may rip out your heart...
But you have yet to learn... "maybe I should use a fork?"

* Written for an ex-b-friend of mine, who whines and complains about the women he's with, but yet he always goes back! The spoon reference refers to what a woman supposedly is. ( to Dopey: this is not meant to be deep, or meaningful... it's a joke for my ex... so don't thrash it too bad...!)

I like that part...This one was good...But can I ask what made you call it "The Spoon"???I got the whole poem except for the last part of it...The whole spoon deal made me lose track of what I was going to say...

My ex had this thing about calling women 'spoons' cause we ruthlessly rip out their hearts with spoons (they hurt more because they are blunt). So I just kinda worked it into the poem.

Well i liked it. You're right, i did have nothing to do with my poem. I liked seeing my name in the title in parenthesis though! HURA!

An interesting perspective, but I liked! I thought it was very neat. As for the who spoon hurting, I think a knife in the back hurts more...anyways, great write.
