One Way

Take your toll

A one way road

You hid the signs for

Time and time again

Some beneath stray branches,

A few you covered over

As if the hazard really ended

You stowed some signs

Under the overpass

One more comment

Just in passing

"Oh I'll just say--" NO.

Actually let me pass

on your bullshit

Let me pass on you steering people

Behind my back

Because when you've taken too much

And I can't anymore,

*I'm* clearly the problem

For “being cold,” giving you anxiety

(Nevermind the anxiety you gave me)

I don't care what you told them,

When every time I went home crying.

I just care that you told them lies

You left out the part where you did it again;

And I left you out of my priorities in turn

Because I only have so much mental health

And you have taken so much of it.

Yours is a one- way road.

A cul-de-sac you've built in the middle of a six-lane highway

And when people say you need to be careful--

You're affecting them and their safety

You say "oh gee, I didn't know"

While you sit on a pile of stop signs you tore right out of the pavement

Because it has to be going your way.
