Do you still love me?
You didn’t tell me I looked pretty today…
I don’t mean to be a bother.
I just could use some reassurance.
Even if you answer me,
I can’t promise there won’t be a
Reoccurrence of me asking you again.
When you don’t compliment me,
I assume you’re cheating again!
Tired of wasting tissues—
Cause you keep adding to my
Trust issues.
I’m so over crying silently…
I’d much rather jump into
Your arms excitedly.
But first, I need to know.
Where have you been?
It’s way past 10.
Wipe that grin…
It’s not funny.
And no you can’t make this
Disappear with money.
What have you done?
Don’t try to deflect.
I know that trick.
You were out late—
With some other chick!
I’m not dumb.
I smell the perfume.
Get out my room.
You’re a terrible liar…
You’re lucky I’m too kind
To set your stuff on fire.

This resonated so deeply with me because as much as I wanna set their things on fire, I don't think I would be able to do it 🥺 Loved your poem!
Very darkly humorous work & like a real convo but it rhymes. Love it! ☺️🙌👍
Ouch. Cold. I can totally feel the emotions. Love it!!
