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”
