When you love someone
Show respect
I am not the butt of your jokes!
Your words are poison to my ears.
Talk gently
Do you have a soft voice inside?
It’s playing hide and seek.
Them first
Every sentence you speak doesn’t have to start with “I.”
Can you ever be wrong?
Yourself second
I realize second to you is a lost concept.
Just get in line!
Be honest
Try to lie to my face.
I see the bullshit in your eyes.
Allow space
Don’t attach yourself to my side.
We are not conjoined twins.
Love grows
Not in your weedy garden.
Suffocating me to death.
