I am no light switch you can turn on and off

ON  
To feel the warmth inside your could damp heart
To brighten up the room so you can place your things ever so neatly inside my heart

OFF
When the heat becomes too much for you
When you need to flee to another room to turn that light on

ON
When you need to heat the sweet words that fall from my sore lips
When you need me to illuminate your day cause you had a bad day

OFF
To make sure you keep the price of the light low
Cause you don't want to invest too much in this "love"
To evade the light cause you see that I deserve more than this

I am tired of your child like hands turning me on and off
to entertain your child like mind
This light bulb is growing weak and I am growing tired of changing the bulb constantly

I think soon I will tear the switch from the wall and cut the wires and just leave
I hate this light switch between you and me
