A Mathematical Uncertainty

Can you count the times you’ve crossed me And divide it by the times you disrespected me Then multiply that by the times you hurt me And come up with a figure? Relatively speaking it’s a simple equation Resulting in a drastic re-calculation of the outcome. Can you give me the square root of the problem That started this whole conundrum in the first place And tally up the results and give me a statistical Analysis comparing the amount of times you Left me wondering why I’m on this earth Or if I’m not worthy of trust? I’m sure the answer would be skewed resulting In the necessity to rethink the control group. I believe the right course of action would be to Figure out the base and height of the love triangle You thought I wouldn’t notice, and in case you didn’t know It, I’m pretty good at trigonometry. Cause for me, who came into this problem with Total devotion and a faithful trust, this doesn’t Add up.

Hi Tammy. Nice write. I like the idea but I was left hoping for it to be longer with more comparisons to math. Maybe a sequel...the new lover who ADDED UP! LOL Trevor
