But…

I love you but
could you please do emotion with less intensity?
It makes me uncomfortable
and I don’t understand it. Stop.

You were bad but
your brother was badder.
I dint tell you that but
too late now. Innit? (No.)

You’re not fit but
you really know it.
Your butt
is the butt of your jokes. Be kinder.

I’m not being mean but
actually I am.
At least if I preface it this way
I can delude myself that it’s okay. K? (No.)

Your poems might suck but
to me they’re pure gold.
I like them because…
‘cos you wrote ‘em. Keep on.

I blog to the void but
once in a while, it talks back.
That word of encouragement, damn,
goes a long way. Thank you, Mx Void. (yw)
