Press Play (4)

By birksy

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

You want me to go? You can't live with me? Get a grip, girl, we're living separate lives, no interactions, no intersections, we share nothing, but nothing. Of course, the truth is my independance, my new-found right to say no, to tell you what I think, it's an irritant you can't scratch anymore. I'm not going anywhere, not until we all move out, gonna be with my kids as long as I can, what a shame you won't get your way this time. Press pause, my choice this time.
