Gaslight (Ex) Wife

Anthony10 Comments

I know it’s up but you say it’s down

Desired respect but treated as a clown

–

Right I swear but you say left

Peace of mind that is your theft

–

Saying it’s inside when I knew it was out

Exasperate me to a scream and shout

–

Feel it Cold when it’s clearly hot

Giving away the love I never got

–

Insisting night while the sun says it’s day

Running crazy circles with games you play

–

Proclaim it near when it’s rather far

Smashing sanity without leaving a scar

–

Misdirection has me befuddled and mad

Kick up those high heels with fun to be had

–

With her tones and a hurtful word

I Fall prey to pageantry of absurd

–

My temper rises and I feel hurt

And it’s time for her dessert

–

Calmly asking why I’m upset

Patronizing as she can get

–

Criticizing my tone which rises fast

Wondering how long this hurt will last

–

I turn around and walk away

A parting shot she would say

–

Getting away is what my goal was about

Then above a whisper, “Go ahead and pout”

-aaa 🔥
