Analysis of Bad Rachelle

Andy Sandy 1999 (South Carolina)



I had Rachelle.

She was mighty fine, bad as hell.

I fell mad. They had to lock me in a padded cell.

Turns out that she was mad as well.

She said that if I wasn't such a tattle tale,
then we could have worked out the magic spell.

And that she'd be back later, but she had to bail
cause they had to take my ass back to jail.

About this poem

I wrote this poem about my ex-girlfriend as we were breaking up. I loved her, but she was extremely problematic. We didn't get to date for very long. She has probably forgotten all about me, but I haven't forgotten her. Maybe if I win some money then I can go to therapy.

Andy Sandy

Just a young guy trying to forget my biography. No one ever really took time to acknowledge me. If you take this bio seriously, here's an apology. I know I don't always do things quite properly. Anyway, if you find that you want to talk to me, just send me an email. I'll respond awkwardly. more…
