Not Taking It Anymore

A Lesson To Learn

What right do you have

To keep walking out,

Now you'll understand why

I don't talk, I shout.

***

You leave the room

While I'm trying to talk,

I've only to ask a question

And you'll get up and walk.

***

Then you'll spend hours

Pretending I'm not there,

And when you come and say sorry

I'm expected to care.

***

That's what all our fights are like

And you've gotten away with it before,

But now you've got a lesson to learn

Because I'm not taking it anymore.

***

You've walked out on me

For the last time,

When you do say you're sorry

I'm not going to be kind.

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
