You love me

You love me
when it's convenient
or beneficial
when your "mood" isn't beating me
with a mental fist
When I keep quiet,
behave
know my role...
Swallow these bits of truth
before their airborne.
You love me
when I'm on my back
praying it's over soon
as you pound away at my decency.
You love me
when I touch you
but not in my "annoying" ways
that I find endearing
your skin is still unfamiliar...
You love me
when my pocket's open like my heart-
Quick to use what you need
and let me keep the change.
You love me
when I take the words you spit
with the notion that every bone in my body is breaking.
You love me
for what I can't let myself be-
a weak spirit toting an inferiority complex
around like a designer purse
like this is something to be PROUD of.
You love me
No you don't.
