Didn't see the signs Or read between the lines. Was blind because you were mine. Didn't take the time To make sure you were the one for me. Just didn't want to be lonely. And now you're going to leave me anyway. But when you do, Don't say "sorry, it's the way it has to be." Don't say "sorry. Maybe we're not meant to be." If you want to leave, I won't make you stay. But if you want to leave, I promise I'll be okay.

Don't say sorry
I'm not interested in what you'll say. I'm interested in what you'll do

Not interested
Don’t speak. I was a freak to bleed in the sheets. You keep going once our eyes meet. Never knew this was you all along. It has been the longest of weeks- The thought of you makes me weak With nausea. I only weep. Took and crumbled a woman so strong. You leap from maternal figure To paternal stickler- You have Daddy issues because he’s rich But won’t share. How dare he not fund your white entitlement. You curse when he tells you to brush your teeth At night, because you can’t stand The thought of someone caring for you On a non-financial level, And I’m the devil, Because I won’t accept the monetary gifts. You slip me this and that, Skip the emotional derivative. And gasp at the fact that I’ve stopped putting in initiative. Silly boy, I don’t need you. A toy made to tease you. Keep me on this collar, But I’m the one who leads you.

Hush-
Carefully the needle penetrates into my skin With every new puncture the thread follows along In and out again and again Till it reaches the end and finally A harsh pull, a few tugs Then the string is snipped free at last Its been completely sewn shut Only after you closed me up Did you ask me how my day was How I was feeling But what could I say With my mouth sewn shut?
