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
