Abandon Ship

Every time I was mid-sentence

Explaining my thoughts

Or feelings

And you turned and stormed away

Silencing me

Not listening

Getting in your car and driving away

Unreachable

No location or ETA

Sometimes threatening suicide

You could be dead somewhere

Won’t answer my calls

Every time I was interrupted

Talked over

Shut down

Every time I cried

Instead of comfort I got shame

And yelling, and anger

Left alone to suffer because your feelings ABOUT my feelings

Always mattered more than me

Now you ignore me, in response to being told it hurts to feel ignored

What am I fighting for?????
