Control
He is there
He is mine
He is caring
He is kind
He is arrogant
He is rude
He is harsh
He is crude
These facts remain
And I am in distain
Because despite the fact that he thinks he reigns
Over all of us
He knows what to say
And when to say it
And unfortunately
I must admit
That I thought he was the best for me
Because admittedly
He would make me smile
Make me laugh
Hold me awhile
While I was obsessing
Our relationship was regressing
Into something it shouldn’t be
And he wasn’t physically hurting me
But emotionally I was a wreck
Because he was like a roller coaster
Up and down side to side
And every day I nearly cried
And when I did it was so much worse
Because he knew it was his fault
And he would be proud of himself
When I would start hurting myself
Because to him it was a sign of control
He had more control over me than of his console
Where he played his stupid games that took up his time
He treated me as if I wasn’t worth a dime.
