Cut Me or Kiss It Better
You were everything to me
But I was just a body to you
And when life gets tough
You’re the bad feeling I crawl back to
A piece of misery I can cling to
Memory of the only happy I had left
I just really hope you leave soon
So I can let go of my tears and quit holding my breath
You are a broken cog failing my machine
You stole my last puzzle piece
I thought it was my turn
You were supposed to keep me happy
You can’t keep lighting me & putting me out
Finish me to the filter or flick me to the ground
Don’t come knocking because you know I’m not around
I am no longer your prisoner.

A Dog Again
I have been treated like a dog.
Maybe it’s because I love like one.
Stay by your side, obey every command, not speak until spoken too.
Beg for boiled water on the stove
Anything, for anything.
I love like a dog.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been treated like one.
Scolded, left in the cold, hit on the nose.
It is all I am ever used to.
It is all I will ever be.
I am like a dog.
Loyal, Social, Playful, Loving.
But all you see me as is a bad dog.
Aggressive, Fearful, Loud.
It is all I am ever used to.
It is all I will ever be.
House
I don’t want to be the mom.
Constantly taking care
Will always be there
Even when I’ve exhausted myself.
I don’t want to be the dog.
Quiet, obedient
No bite and no bark
Serve only you.
I don’t want to be the child.
Naive, impatient.
Impulsive and immature
So small and unimportant in your shadow.
I don’t want to be the wife.
On hands and knees
Cooked and clean
Begging to be seen
I want to be the husband.
Kissed and fed.
Treated with respect.
Winner in the end.
