A Gift Wrapped in Frustration

She likes to have him receive all your attention
While you wander without mention
While you sink into a trench then-
Ponder on hypertension,
I,
Will redesign my mind
To walk a fine line
And unwind,
Ink and nice rhymes have prevented large crimes,
So,
Suppress hard times,
Keep me away from diamond watches,
This anger has got me heated,
Turn me down a couple notches.

Love:
Tears gift wrapped in frustration
With a side of lost patience,
Pain, hurt and agony
All reside
Adjacent,
Eat at your life until all feel complacent.

I'm not falling now,
That's like letting what's inside
Make you commit suicide
In the foundation that you reside.

Very few will look at this poem as inspirational,
There's pain here,
So I'm doing this to be confrontational,
I know I'm not confronting
But I'm definitely saying so.

Now...
Don't really consume what I speak,
Don't mind my utterance,
I'm paying debts
Fixing dents,
Just ignore until a summer hence.

I enjoyed this. very cynical : )

I particularly liked this stanza:

Love:
Tears gift wrapped in frustration
With a side of lost patience,
Pain, hurt and agony
All reside
Adjacent,
Eat at your life until all feel complacent.
