Why Does She Affect Me So

Nasty mouth replaces height
Spitting cobra fangs – spitting bullying rude
Standing teapot: hands-on-hips 
Anger drains her colour into jaundice
A pretty face warped by scowls
Tells not asks – never thanks 
An aggressive project every day
Snappy woofing snarling
 “Assertive” apparently
Cloudy clear paranoia
Why would you do that! What did he want!
Looking, pleading for a snap, a bicker, a voice poke
Behind poison, a quickly spreading core of empty sadness, 
Powered by then and now
