are you jealous?
are you angry?
are you spiteful?

what must i do
to be done
with this cycle?

apologize?
bow down?
be what you claim?

stoop down
to your level?
engage in your game?

you already
got what you wanted,
what else could there be?

what is it that
you want from
me?

i'm tired
of being
your object of aversion.

what did i do
to deserve this
particular incursion?

think i'm finally
sick of being
your go-to victim.

held my tongue
for a while
now i'm expanding the schism.
