A short poem about realizing that it’s more taking than giving sometimes….

Don’t sit there and tell me you understand

Don’t sit there and lie then hold out your hand

I don’t want to hear that you don’t have the time

And yet when it’s your turn you always want mine

I’ve tried to be helpful and silent and sweet

While sitting here watching you drag both your feet

I’m tired of pretending you’re not playing games

Or that I won’t be left alone to burn in these flames

So go ahead and leave me

I’ll do it all alone

And the next time you call me

Let’s just say I lost the phone….
