“pushing the issue”

the other shoe has dropped

about six times this week.

thud.

you didn’t text me back.

thud.

i went on the attack.

thud.

why won’t you fight back?

thud.

thud.

thud.

the issues were small.

the talks were long.

i feel like i’m the one in the wrong

for pushing and pushing.

“tell me how you feel.”

push.

“tell me how to fix it.”

push.

i always forget to listen.

i just

push.

push.

push.

what you never see

is when i push the issue,

i’m waiting for you

to push back.
