Tough love,
****
Is there even a single benefit?
In one ear and out the other,
Why even bother?

Tough love,
****
I don’t get it.
I tried to be less sensitive this time,
but sensitivity was never a crime.

Instead of hearing that, "it’s all in my head,"
I just wanted that response;
I understand.
How could I forget?
Simply talking about this has me hanging by a thread.

Tough love,
Not always a wakeup call.
It’s one of those,
“I shouldn't have opened my mouth,”
I guess whatever they say goes.

Tough love,
Still ****
Instead of ripping my hair out strand by strand,
I just wanted you to hold my hand.
That wasn't the plan

Isn’t tough love another way of saying, "You're stupid?"
Splendid.
Not blind
Forget about what’s on my mind,
I'm handling this situation all wrong.

Tough love
****
Only because it's not what I want to hear

Tough love
****
Is there even a single benefit?
Doesn’t it go in one ear and out the other
Why even bother?
