I typed it out
How upset I was
I didn't press send
I slid my hand down
And held delete

I hope you don't forgive me
I don't argue with anyone but you
It's so demeaning!
I act so baby-like with you

I hate you
For making me a child
I feel as if you beat me
You beat me with
Soft sweeping passes
That I beg you not to take

You never hit me
But you don't have to
If you're upset,
I'm on my knees
Every comment I make
Must be worded
With unbearable precision

I hate knowing you.
You let me go
To steal me back
And break me
Once again.
