Michelle Devon Poet Rhyme

I'M Not Doing This

There are many things in my memory
But none will be quite so strong
As the cruel words you said to me
When I was on the phone
It wasn’t that you called me names
Or cussed, or put on me the blame
For things that really aren’t my fault
When I only needed you to call to talk
It wasn’t the accusation of a threat
Or any other cruel thing you said
It wasn’t being cold to me
That will live in my memory
What will stay with me the longest
What is hurting me the strongest
Is that when I called you trying to repair
The damage done, asking you to care
Asking you to give me a reason to forgive
You hung up on me after saying
            “I’m not doing this…”
