It looks like you've lost the right kind of weight, the dead kind.

Aww....shutup and do me

hmmm... she's already said yes, but she demands we wait until my FICO is about 650. Now, I ask you, is that romantic or what?

As for doing you...she'd either cheer me on or try to swipe you for herself, the greedy wench.

There is nothing wrong with the size of my "rock"

Powerful writing.

One can feel the weight of his absence, sense the cool air in the space he used to fill.

Very well written. To me, these lyrics sum up my loss of weight:

"Title and Registration"

the glove compartment is inaccurately named
and everybody knows it.
so i'm proposing a swift orderly change.

cause behind its door there's nothing to keep my fingers warm
and all i find are souvenirs from better times
before the gleam of your taillights fading east
to find yourself a better life.

i was searching for some legal document
as the rain beat down on the hood
when i stumbled upon pictures i tried to forget
and that's how this idea was drilled into my head

cause it's too important
to stay the way it's been

there's no blame for how our love did slowly fade
and now that it's gone it's like it wasn't there at all
and here i rest where disappointment and regret collide
lying awake at night

there's no blame for how our love did slowly fade
and now that it's gone it's like it wasn't there at all
and here i rest where disappointment and regret collide
lying awake at night (up all night)
when i'm lying awake at night.

Interesting

Sad to witness what you've gone through, but at the same time the feelings are being expressed and shared with others. I respect that tremendously. It's very well written and seems to capture a powerful feeling without being overtly emotional about it. Resolve, but with optimism, knowing that it needed to turn out this way.

...sounds like the proper weights were lifted...

Your writing, whether poetry or prose, whether grumpy or tipsy (or any of the other of the Seven Dwarves, for that matter), is always worth reading.

Thank you for allowing us to see the inside of you.

Heavy, and quiet, but full. Thank you for sharing.
