Respect

Respect is a two way street,

It’s not selective.

 

It doesn't go from a two way

To an one way.

 

It’s not with one person putting in all the effort.

 

It’s not an one way street,

That you ignore because of your

“lifestyle”.

 

I treat you with respect.

So why can’t you seem to understand,

That all I want is some respect back.

 

Not some half-assed effort,

While I’m giving my full effort.

 

No feigned ignorance of hearing me,

While I stop what I’m doing to listen.

 

This could sound

Like a bitter ex

Or the longing words of unrequited love.

It’s not.

 

I’m glad I finally understand that

You're not even worth my time to care about.
