Ovi Poem

Faith No More: An Ovi

Nancy's Notes 🖊️🎶

Written for Ovi Poetry Challenge #71.
Our inspiration word is “respect”
and this is my ovi.

How could you cheat on me
Did you think no one would see
You’re not what you said you’d be
A wolf in sheep’s clothing

One endless lie after lie
You never gave us a try
And like a coward I’d cry
Never standing up for myself

I’ve seen you for what you are
Spending your nights in the bar
Driving a fancy, souped-up car
Not a dime for the kids

Listen to me, you loser
You’re nothing but a boozer
I begged you not to choose her
I’ll never respect you again

I have no faith in you
You don’t know how to be true
But I know what to do
Don’t come around here no more

The sight of you makes me sick
You’re a lousy no-good prick
Go be with your other chick
You’re both no good tramps

You have no pride but I do
You and I are through
I want nothing to do with you
Pack your stuff and get the fuck out

      1. My life now is very peaceful and the heartache is largely dealt with. It is strange the cards life deals each of us. My ex and I have returned over many years of hard work to that place of being easy friends. Your poem brought a remembrance of a time when it was not so easy, but it gave me an opportunity to look back and see how far we have come.
