And That is Not Me
I told you I deserve
to be treated better,
to not have to beg
for love,
attention,
a conversation,
and your response
was a defense
of how you have
hundreds more people
texting your phone
and cannot remember
to respond to me
over the course of a week
and it was in that moment I realized
I will not compromise
my basic rights of love
for you,
for you
should find love
in someone
you can remember
to talk to,
to love,
or who is complacent
with your lack
of communication,
reciprocation,
care,
and that
is not
me
