You Know You'd Miss Me:- A Love Poem, of Sorts...

I know at the end of the day, it's just a hole,
and half the population have one, but
who else would let you get away with
the shit I let you do to me?
Other women would have had you arrested
for some of the things that you've suggested,
not so much requested as just presumed.
You've groomed me well.
Contorted now into the shapes you like,
how long would you have to mould another
before they could fill my position?
Patience is a virtue, but it's never been your strongest suit.
All sentimentality aside, you know you lied
when you said I could be anyone.
Who else would choke on you the way I do?
Who else would take you up
on the pain-for-pleasure deal you offer?
Everyone's expendable,
but some are harder to replace
than others,
and I've a fortitude you've come to take for granted,
and an attitude that cannot be transplanted
into a different body.
There may be prettier, younger, firmer, tighter,
more gymnastic, more elastic
but you'll never find another
so
resilient, compliant,
unshockable, unshakeable,
practically fucking unbreakable.
Used to things the way you like them,
do you really think you could give this up?
While I don't doubt you could live without
my conversation, opinions, intellect,
if I suddenly wasn't there,
[sordid, sick, sadistic, twisted, dirty, deviant, depraved]
you know you'd miss me.
