tension:
there’s been a lot of it.
in the air, in the world,
between my shoulder blades,
forming against you and i.
apprehension:
there hasn’t been enough of it.
bickering and butting heads,
the bitter flavor of annoyance.
worrying about
the paychecks,
the car, the house,
the war of growing up
and moving on,
hasn’t much helped me out.
you’ve seemed stagnant
for months, for over a year,
and you will only tell me
what you want me to hear.
all i want to say is
“get your act together.”
“just actually try a little.”
“it isn’t rocket science.”
“just grow up.”
so, in conclusion,
i’ve learned my lesson
about begging people
for the bare minimum,
so i’m refusing to be
‘the bigger person’
for the rest of this continuum.
