at it again
There you go again
Just when I thought
We had gotten it right
You're at it again
Like a slap in the face
Your personality shift
Hit me from out of the blue
A trouncing of my ego,
Always good for a laugh,
A stomping of my pride,
Best to make sure
I swallow it all,
Save nothing but the fall
In your passive aggressive way
You take the blame
Reading between the lines
I know that means its all mine
So in my straightforward speak
Let me be clear
I know you meant
Every word that was said
So feel free to read between my lines
As I leave you behind
Just when I thought
We had gotten it right
You're at it again
Like a slap in the face
Your personality shift
Hit me from out of the blue
A trouncing of my ego,
Always good for a laugh,
A stomping of my pride,
Best to make sure
I swallow it all,
Save nothing but the fall
In your passive aggressive way
You take the blame
Reading between the lines
I know that means its all mine
So in my straightforward speak
Let me be clear
I know you meant
Every word that was said
So feel free to read between my lines
As I leave you behind

Damn right, say it straight or shut up. Nice little piece that conveys some strong emotions without overpowering the reader.

Thank You. Sometimes the nicest thing to do for someone is to just say what needs to be said.
