Mind Games

Why do you shut me out?
Something's bothering you.
I can see it.
I can hear it.
I can feel it.
Instead of taking your aggression
out on me
just let me in.
Why won't you just talk to me?
You don't seem to feel the need
to take your aggression out on anyone
except for me.
Why is that?
I hate it.
Your words and actions
make me feel so badly.
If you're going to continue
to play these selfish mind games
than I'm just going to ignore it.
I will no longer ask
what's bothering you.
I will simply pretend I don't notice
and soon enough
my words and actions
will make you feel badly.
