Today I’m parting ways with junk food
Your effect on my weight is rude.
You gave me man boobs, that’s cruel.
No longer a food fool.
I’m done with fat.
You just ain’t
where it’s
at.

I feel this in my soul.
Haha. Man boobs. This is great.
Yes, a break up we want but can't seem to carry through. LOL! A difficult relationship, Joe. Well-expressed.
I love this! So relatable. :) I feel like I'm constantly breaking up and getting back together with sweets and junk, LOL
I'm with you, going to follow your plan! Wes
That's the saddest breakup poem I've read in recent years! Funny too. But mostly sad. Well done!
Hey, great job, loved the poem and the rhyme …. and I'm with ya (but just a little bit of chocolate).
