How Can You Say That?
"Say It Again" challenge entry
You say that you love me.
How can you say that?
Am I really that lovable?
I'm happy you think so.
Since you say it,
Maybe I am.
*
You say that I need to help more.
How can you say that?
I work all day and help cook dinner.
Sure, you work from home and clean
But I'm doing what I can.
I'm often exhausted, so yes,
I fall asleep.
*
You say that I don't satisfy you anymore.
How can you say that?
You sounded satisfied last night,
Practically clawing my back.
What that all an act?
I really do what I can
Because I care.
*
You say you don't love me anymore.
How can you say that?
I've always done everything you ask.
I always go above and beyond for you.
Come to think of it,
I should say that.
