I know what you're doing...

By Karyn Indursky

I know what you're doing... 
I'm seeing it all too clearly. 
I don't want to stroke your ego day after day. 
I don't want to smell in cigarettes or watch you smoke it. 
I don't want to watch you drink and drive or get drunk. 
I don't want to hear you tell me what's wrong with me. 
I don't want to hear you say one thing, but show me different. 
I don't want to be kept being pushed away. 
I don't want to only be here when it's convenient. 
I don't want to feel this pain in my body. 
I don't want to shed these tears. 
I don't want to hear your voice in my head. 
I don't want to think about your touch. 
I don't want to smell things that remind me of you. 
I don't want to be going through this.
