This poem was inspired by a venting session with my bestie and my Scorp. A mesh of fact and fiction, the hypothetical and the actual, people you know and people you never heard of. So you don't have to ask me who this is about :-)
Enjoy!
Love Me or Leave Me Alone
Love me or leave me alone
...didn't understand it until now
you taunting me with your new gf
Yet still keeping in touch with me...
Love me or leave me alone
Apologizing for falling out of touch
And still keeping yourself distanced
Helps nothing but my irritation and questions
Love me or leave me alone
Both simultaneously isn't an option
I've already proved my commitment
Honestly I'm tired of trying and losing
Pulling me down this endless road
The fucked up part is-- I care so much
I'd just about let you, too.
Love me or leave me alone
You're holding up progress to my happiness
You can be a part of that picture or not;
Give me an answer before I snap...
Beating around the bush
Trying to have me and her
Popping up when your life's convenient.
Being a woman in a feeling
Doesn't obligate me to wait
And waiting ain't wising you up
So let me explicitly say:
Love Me or Leave Me Alone
Hoping for the former
Praying it ain't the latter
Grateful for an answer
if you give me either.
