The Phone Call

I knew I shouldn't have answered the phone....
As I tripped over something in the floor
It must have been Freudian...
Cause I tripped over my words when I heard
It was you....

Rudeness your Forte
Couth not being your strong suite
The words that soon followed were
Just...like I remembered...
Better left unsaid.
As Usual...
That never stopped you from talking.
So I listened...
The longest 3.5 minutes of my life
You got a settlement...
You have big money now...
You just wanted to tell me
Why ....you weren't giving any
of it to me....
Then you paused...
in your moment of satisfaction...
Guess I was too quiet on the other end

You paused and asked me how I felt...
Ha!....Really....
I guess you were pissed
because I really didn't give a shit.
I left our marriage with exactly
what I came with....
Just Me myself... and I
So why...
would I give
a rats ass....
about you....or your money...
Why would I care... at all
Hopefully...
If Karma is off of vacation
Soon enough
I'll be reading the paper
and there will be an article there
that reads:
"Man chokes to death on his own ego
More news at 11"......

Well a girl can only hope.
Never the less....
I hung up on you...
Like I always do
Like I always will...
Maybe one day...
You will realize...
You can only make someone mad
If they care.
Obviously...you still do
Funny how you have all that money.
[i][i]Yet you still called me.[/i][/i]
Ha!
