Don'T

don’t pretend you worry or even that you care don’t pretend it matters to you don’t you ****ing dare I always want to be your friend I’ll just be a phone call away Your sadness I’ll always try to mend In your sex games I’ll even play But don’t think I’m oblivious Don’t think that I don’t notice This thing that is so obvious The way we are never us You expect me to do what you want You think that I’m in love with you You’ll never be all of what I want I’ve gotten over you I’ve realized things, I’ve noticed things I can’t make you do the same You just won’t let go these things You’re holding on to pain You’ll measure everyone against him And if they aren’t the same You’ll treat them like amusements Temp'ry and mundane Maybe you only talk to me Because I’m always there Maybe you only look at me As a genderless place to share You want to talk, you want to play Fine I will always listen But don’t pretend at end of day This is but what it isn’t

The anger in this poem is raw and honest, but controlled. It's an excellent write in that it shows wonderful insight into the poet's own feelings, as well as the motivations and actions of someone who could have easily fooled him. Relationships grow slowly, though, and this could blossom into something more, if the lovers are honest with each other. Writing is communication, and this communicates well!
