I'm not always going to say those things you like. <br />In fact, <br />If I do say them... <br />You can take from me a hike. <br />I am not going to spend, <br />Time <br />Trying to find a way, <br />To say nothing that offends your sensitive mind. <br />I'm not always going to say those things you like. <br />Especially not this time. <br /> <br />I'm not always going to say those things you like. <br />Or even try to stop them, <br />To keep my honesty on edge or uptight. <br />I may be wrong believing, <br />You to be the co-pilot in my life. <br />And when I think deeply about it... <br />I wish you'd parachute right out of my sight! <br />You don't want me to be sweet and nice! <br />You'd like me to roar or bark. <br />Like some animal you've domesticated to be home trained. <br />Listening to you whine until the wee hours of dark. <br /> <br />I did not see that movie. <br />And apparently you are still there viewing. <br />Snap, crackle and pop your ass out of that! <br /> <br />Perhaps I can be quite insensitive. <br />But there's a limit I'm not going to let, <br />Myself to you now give. <br />Since you enjoy whipping me into a huff and puff. <br />And that's the kind of stuff I've had enough. <br />Suffering from the agitating unbuffered fluff... <br />You like to give and not give up! <br />Enough! <br /> <br />I'm not always going to say those things you like. <br />In fact, <br />If I do say them... <br />You can take from me a hike. <br />I am not going to sit up all night, <br />To hear the spite you have <br />For your so called two faced friends. <br />To leave me feeling like I'm the one, <br />Crazed and on the deep end. <br />With a mind spinning a madness beginning? <br />No! <br />I'm not going to allow myself to get that comfortable. <br />Not with that in our bed. <br /> <br />I'm not always going to say those things you like. <br />Like shut the hell up! <br />And turn off the light.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
