List Poem

Insufferable

How would you know?

As your fingers trace straight-laced scars

A master painting 

Carved into canvas by my own hand

An ever-evolving sculpture 

Sculpted by many a man

How dare you stare

As a dog watches a duck pond

Hungrily eyeing his prey 

Yet restrained by morality 

An ever tightening leash

Hang yourself with it 

How did you not notice 

your hand resting around my neck 

A noose ever tightening 

An unspoken threat 

If it is power you crave 

Then squeeze just a little tighter

How can you stand?

With no spine to support yourself

Your legs should buckle 

And onto bended knee

To convalesce at my feet

Admiring the sculpture you unwittingly broke

How would you know?

You’re deaf and insufferable 

Complacent and mean

Your disgusting

You bring out the bitch in me

I hate you 

No wait

I love you 

Always 

Don’t leave.
