The Ick Factor
you’ve used up my trust
yes I know you don’t mean any harm
no it doesn’t hurt
but I asked you to stop
because it is meaningless
yet distracting
it is like the tip of the iceberg
that small act
meant to be affectionate
that I can’t stand it
that I don’t enjoy it
represents your lack of respect
it means to you
that I don’t have a sense of humour
such is life
it’s not a control issue
on my part
it is the same as serving food
you know I’m allergic to
then getting pissed off
when I refuse to eat it
or insisting on playing
music you know I can’t stand
just to be playful
to be annoying
because I’m so cute
when I’m annoyed
enjoy that memory
because if you can’t respect
my silly boundary
memory is all you’ll have
