Refusal

In response to her words...

I refuse to feel responsible
For your inability
to effectively articulate
Your emotional state
Anticipate the words
So far unheard
Instead reading the vibration
Of your skin

I refuse to accept neglect
The rejection
As you shove me off you
one more time
Allowing the rhyme
In the surface of your soul
To take control over me

I refuse to allow
Our silent magnetism
To continue to be
Our entire story
The glory of the conquest
Rests in the clean laundry
That is always waiting
On your chase lounge

I could hunt you down
But I would find your scent
lingering in the air
You
No longer there
So instead I'll be over here
Waiting for your call
