Ask Me

This pretty much speaks for itself.

                        Ask Me

 

If you had asked me to,

Instead of lain down the law,

We would not be here,

Like two gladiators,

Trying to behead each other.

 

I understand logic,

But when phrased like a command,

Defies my logic,

And my inner rebel takes offence,

I am yours but you do not own me.

 

You should know better ,

Than to enrage this woman,

My claws are unsheathed,

And I am spitting enough venom,

To eviscerate you on the spot.

 

I am not a damsel in distress,

Who is too naive to recognize danger,

Right now I dare anyone to test this raging harpee,

And you would be wise,

To heed the sparks shooting from my eyes.

 

And disappear from my general vicinity,

Until the storm has abated,

And the flaming inferno cooled,

And next time to save yourself,

From getting your eyebrows singed,

Ask me to, don't command me to.

Author's Note

I needed to vent and I did and I am as chipper as ever now.

"And I am spitting enough venom,
To eviscerate you on the spot."
"sparks shooting from my eyes."
I love these lines..
Having been the puppet of an obsessive lover I can relate to the rage in the poem. Enjoyed reading it immensely.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you muchly Anna :)

[Madalyn Beck]

Yes!! Ohmygosh, yes! This is so true and I know my boyfriend is the same way. He doesn't understand that I want him to ASK me to do something. I hate it when he flat out tells me to do something. I want to scream at him when he does that. GREAT write! xo (:

[Vidya Bacchus]

Lol exactly .Thank you Maddy :)

[AMMD]

There've been moments I needed to be able to share this with my husband. Great write; good read.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you Angeline :)

[David Scott]

Yowzer!
Did you just tell me to do something? Ok... OK... as you command. I will no longer tell you to do anything. hmmm? ha.
Well, maybe tit for tat here.
Love does not live long under the press of commands. You are right to point this out.
A request and a loving response are more easily paired and much sweeter fruit to stomach.
I like the stinging rage and the counter disrespect in a satirical way, but I believe in life, even when we are wronged, a loving response will reap a loving relationship.
Thank you for sharing this emotional write.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Lol thank you David .Yes if asked I would agree but being commanded makes me mad .
