One-Liner
I slept on it overnight so I wouldn't lash out
The words I'd have said would not have been kind
Conflicted between feelings of anger and sorrow
I needed to pause and absorb your one-lined reply
Being your last priority has become tiresome
So I bit my tongue, and kept my thoughts to myself
And I've decided no longer to tolerate
Your selfish ways are damaging to my health
Two can play this 'waiting game' of hide and seek
By letting your one-lined response stand alone
As for my absence, well, you'll figure out how it feels
But this time it's my move that will be the unknown
