Convenience Factors

Funny how you tend to forget

How convenient that must be

To turn me on and off like a switch

To avoid responsibility

As if this relationship

Will fix itself

Like holes in socks

That never disappear

That keep getting bigger

There are things that you should do

Even though you don’t want to do

Because they are important to other people

Who seem to think that you don’t care

As much as they care

They are getting tired

Of trying without results

Of thinking that it’s their fault

That you never say anything

Saying something, anything

Is better than saying nothing

Thinking that you don’t want to discuss

Anything of importance to me, with me

Thinking that I have to pull

All this weight

With me and alone

Just because I forgive you

Doesn’t mean that I condone

Of these things that have been omitted

Of these things that I have been denied

Only to be given to you by me

Because I wanted you to see

How much you mean to me

Why can you not see?

That these things do hurt me?
