On My Birthday, My Love Disappeared

Willie Deleon, the man I had been infatuated with for five years was absent on my birthday. I made countless calls, all of which he cut off.

With just one minute left in the day, he impatiently answered and asked what I wanted.

I smiled, tears and snot smeared across my face, feeling cold.

I asked him, "Willie, is she as obedient as I am?"

He paused for a moment, seemingly surprised that I knew he had someone with him.

Then his tone turned cold and sarcastic. "No, she's a sweet and pure girl, not a dog."

In his eyes, I was just a dog that could be summoned or dismissed at will.
