Mad Love


Oh no not again
there’s his child within
doing what he shouldn’t
a cardinal sin
raising my anger
from reality he hides
I can feel myself raging
deep down inside

“Do as you’re told”
I scream in my head
desperately wanting the frustration
to end
it’s burning me up
with a knot in my gut
whatever I say
he just won’t give it up

Try as I do
when he says
me?
“YES YOU!”
he melts me inside
with his puppy dog eyes
my shoulders sag down
with a huff
and a sigh

“God you’re annoying”
I say through my grin
in my anger I smile
I can’t help but love him!
