  Fly the crazy flag.
  Make me jealous, hag.
  Slam doors on my hands.
  Open drawers, shoot rubber bands
  in my eye. Scissors in my thigh.
  Kill babies, kiss dogs with rabies.
  One thousand yesses, but their all maybes.
  Why love, why?

  Strangle memories till they're blue.
  Say my friends are all against you.
  Burn my cash.
  Hide my hash.
  Let your legs go prickly.
  As our love grows sickly
  lurching into doorways,
  you invent more ways to drive me away.
  Yet i stay.

Masochism perhaps?
A good venting write.
Welcome to Passions!

It's never as simple as it appears, is it? I loved this one too, especially the way you broke up "rubber bands/in my eye."

The soul would have no rainbows, had the eyes no tears.
