Trash

I was mad and stressed out 

I didn’t know what to do 

I ignored your words and I ignored you 

I finally told you why I was mad 

And you know what you did? 

You took my feelings and threw them in the trash 

You took your feelings and shoved them in my face 

My feelings discarded like they did not matter 

And your feelings were regarded with urgency 

I said sorry to you and ensured that YOU were not mad 

But indeed you were

Of course you were

I ignored you and didn’t say a word 

Suddenly my actions were worse than what you do when your mad

And I’m left in the dust feeling only regret and sad

All I wanted was an apology

But I didn’t even get that 

I got a silent treatment and a long paragraph of anger 

NOT an apology NO acknowledgement of my feelings 

But when I finally tell you how I feel, you ACTUALLY apologize

At that moment, your apology were as significant as my feelings to you
