If I Don’t Love You

Then…

If I don’t love you

Everything about you changes

So much so

That I learn your decomposition

And can never unsee it

If I don’t love you

The games I had to play

Just to find the truth

Are aggravating

If I don’t love you

The excuses you wear

The victims mantle

Are tiresome

If I don’t love you

The way you treat my dog

The way you look at her

Infuriates me

If I don’t love you

The way you treat the waiter

The non stop micro aggressions

Are toxic

If I don’t love you

Your fears which stop you from seeing me

Which stop you from being anything

Are everything

If I don’t love you

The way I have to carry you every day

Make excuses for you at every turn

Are exhausting

If I don’t love you

I’m not sure I can like you

And if I’m not sure

I’m not going to think about it twice
