Aftermath

In Happy Folder

This is what you do when the sex becomes boring:
You succumb to orders, like alienation.
Nothing to do afterwards, but flick the channels.
It's been two weeks since I've practised masturbation.

It's not just one night out of fifty.
Careful, baby- you're looking shifty.
This is not just for one night, is it?
Because I'm thinking we make business.

Sit around with nothing but the television.
Pick at skin, and stroke it slowly from time to time.
Romance? You think not, and I can tell it right now.
I'll make sure after today you will still be mine.

It's not just one night out of fifty.
Careful, baby- you're looking shifty.
This is not just for one night, is it?
Because I'm thinking we make business.

You've got your problems.
And I've got mine.
We could solve them now.
We have got time.
Please don't deny it.
We have it all.
A future somewhere else.
Don't make me fall.

Working class town, with nothing else to contribute.
Suburban dipshits and stereotypes galore.
And so what if you are no longer a virgin?
It don't make me a pimp, it don't make you a whore.

It's not just one night out of fifty.

Hello.
Right, so I was hoping this wasn't going to be another pervy work. Then I read the first line. I am really surprised you were allowed to submit these without putting some sort of age limit on them. XD

Right.
1. I don't like the narrator
2. Order from who? Yourself
3. I detest this metaphor to be perfectly honest, it's so disrespectful and completely irreverent towards love.
4. How on EARTH did you manage to post this without an age limit?

LOL. I don't like the way you compare a business deal. Just... I hate the character. XD

Yep, the last line of this stanza confirms the possessive nature of the narrator. He is very creepy indeed. I don't like him at all, but somehow, this bad boy is keeping me reading. I think he reminds me of someone. ;)

This first bit reminds me of fifty shades of grey, I guess the domination would be correct about that aspect. The repetition here reveals the progression of the character's motives.

This reaches more of a middle ground; and there is a good use of punctuation to deliver your thoughts clearly.

This reminds me of your modern narration as the character of Robert, in TS. I think the style of bleak commentary is very similar. You've obviously had this voice in you for a very long time.

I didn't like this work.
Not only because it is morally flawed, but because it rings too close to home, it attempts to be deliberately disgusting and just makes me go "eww."
You have writing talent, I would like to see you do something with it. Something more than this.

Keep writing.

Sometimes I feel you're a genius. I love this and I would listen to it loads of times if it were recorded as a song.
