Trust Tease
Posted on September 1, 2010 with 0 commentsI’m sorry you stepped on my toes. No, wait. I mean, you’re sorry, you stepped on my toes… Right? Are you sorry you stepped on my toes? You haven’t apologized Perhaps you haven’t realized What should be obvious even to your vacant eyes That what you did was so unwise. You stayed where you were unwanted You stayed where you were uninvited You violated my trust You must really, really not get it. Shit. You said not two hours earlier that you would be more careful with me. Not take things for granted That you would tread more carefully Not make me responsible for your assumptions. Not act on presumptions That you would treat me with the respect And not expect that you can do as you please. Tease. Tease. You’re such a trust tease. You muster up just the right thing to say to help me choose to let you get away Get away with seeping into my life Wherever there’s a slight crack in the wall… So you know where I went today? I went to Home Depot And I got me some super you-resistant caulk So I don’t have to chalk up any more missteps to you being around So I don’t have to worry about slipping on you spilled all over my ground I’m going to seal up the cracks Especially the ones under the molding I’m not going to break my back because of the crap that you’re holding Waiting to throw it into my face All over my place My Place MY PLACE MY TOES I’m sorry you chose the path that you chose. But this is how the story now goes… At least ‘til you realize that you have to deeply apologize.
