Written for Sadje’s What Do You See #253
Out!
Go on!
Take your stuff
and hit the road.
You are not wanted
around here anymore.
You broke my heart with your lies.
I abhor the feel of your mouth.
My bed is not big enough for three!
Out! Go on! Take your stuff and hit the road.

No mincing words there! Great song pairing, too. 🎶 Gloria Gaynor’s song, I Will Survive also came to mind.

Someone else suggested I Will Survive as well. That song is always a great choice.
Thanks, Michele, for your comments and thoughts. Personally I can’t ever imagine finding myself in such a situation; I’m pretty sure I would behave in much the same way. 🌋

A classic song! Made for a great dance routine last year, too. 💃🏻 I doubt you’ll ever find yourself in that situation, beyond your imagination for flash fiction. 😌💕

It’s a struggle, Michele, I won’t deny that. Possibly the most painful of my surgeries; we forget in time, thankfully. I get up to walk every hour or so, a must to strengthen my legs and back. Just starting to walk unassisted. Baby steps but hopeful now. Off to bed soon.♡♡

Love the Petty song, but the first song that came into my mind while reading the poem was by Gloria Gaynor! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dYWe1c3OyU&list=RD6dYWe1c3OyU&start_radio=1

I’m thinking the 3rd in bed might be his ego! Great Tom Petty song…have you seen the Alice in Wonderland version? Trippy!

Tres trippy! I think the Alice vid may be the official one.
You’re spot on with ego, Liz. I was trying to work that into my poem but found I was changing it up too much. Glad to know you got that vibe!

Well, that’s pretty clear (T. Petty too) – since you said there were three in the bed, I’m thinking it must be a cat/dog… yes?

I’m glad you enjoyed my poem, Chris. I’m thinking the cheater thought it was pretty clear, too!
