Push/pull relationships

This is a poem about someone who wants to love you on their terms, and when you exert your love back, they push you away.

Pushing and pulling
For just a chance
To feel you closer
Were crying and were mulling
But were only making
The pot boil over
Maybe this is you taking
Space from overexposure
Or maybe the girl you wanted
Was already picked over

Just a second, then it's gone
I am losing faith, and
This can only last so long
Im pulling and your pushing
But this feels like an endless marathon
And we cant get anywhere
With you always shushing me
Even when you claim you care
You withhold your affection
You have no caress to give me
Unless it decreases your erection
Unless it results in what you want
I am not here at your discretion
I am my own person
With my own needs and desires
I long for when you pulled me too
You want me when you want me
But what of when I want you
Your selfish with yourself
While I give you all I've got
It is never enough
This battle has been long fought
For you to return it in good measure
I am a person
Not an object of your pleasure
Pushing, pulling
For what you
Use to give me freely
If it's not mine to have
Then Take it all back
Keep yourself so close
If thats what you really want
But, this is what you chose
So don't come to me,
Pulling
In a few more years
For me to waste
I cant make you want me
But i have already felt the taste
So about this, let's be fair
Pushing, pulling
A girl's worst nightmare

I guess I was right in a silly way. I think i see a place to play? a download? I am not awake but I will say again Love the piece..

Thank you so much! I think most of us have had one of these types of relationships.

[Violet's Run]

Oh baby hit the nail on the head!
Been through this and I had to get a hammer and clunk him on the head and then he started listening..
HA !, no I did not do that. But this poem of yours has a rhythm, is this a lyric for a song, like a rap ?
Cause I can totally see this as one. Or a live read, it would be outstanding. Love this girl !!

[HeazerH]

I would love you song write, good idea.

This says it all about push and pull relationships. It's also very sincere, like this has happened to you.
Simply, it tells the story of something a little complicated.
Well played! ^^

It's always a terrible thing for a relationship to come to this. Your emotions grab hold of the reader throughout this piece. Well done.

The yo-yo relationship can play havoc with your head and heart. It is a game not worth playing but unfortunately you don't realize you are playing until it is too late.

[HeazerH]

That is the way of things. Thanks for reading.
