my lips will stay pursed.

when will you learn?
it's not permissible
to be perpetually angry-
especially over the most
trivial
of
issues.

you're burning your bridges
quicker than you can
begin to construct them.
your immaturity rules
over you,
manipulating your actions.
you know better than that.
at least,
i am presuming so.

don't think that your
displeased attitude
will solve anything.
you will wallow in it,
it will consume you--
evidently it has
made you
a victim.

please, stop and
breathe.
one can only do
so much
to gain your forgiveness,
but all efforts
always,
always,
fall short.
what more do you want?
would you like
a bath drawn every night,
or perhaps someone
to cook your meals,
give you weekly manicures?

may your bridges' ashes
disintegrate back
into the earth.
