Without any assistance or guidance from you,
I have loved you assiduously for 21 years, 8 months, two weeks, and a day,
I have been stood up * times,
I've left seven packages on your doorstep,
40 poems, two plants, and three handmade notecards I left
town so I could sent to you
have been no help to me
on my job,
You call at 3:00 in the morning on weekdays
So I could drive 27 1/2 miles cross the Bay before I go to work
Charming, charming,
But you are of no assistance,
I want you to know,
this was an experiment,
to see how selfish I could be,
If I would really carry on to snare a possible love,
If I were capable of debasing myself for the love of another,
If I could stand not being wanted,
when I wanted to be wanted,
and I cannot,
So,
with no further assistance and no guidance from you,
I am ending this affair.
This note is attached to a plant,
I've been watering since the day I met you,
You may water it,
your damn self.
