i don't deserve that

[sarah_j_powell]

you talk to me as if i were a child.
who knows not wrong from right.
you talk to me as if i were cruel
as though i did everything purposefully.

you have earned no right to talk to me that way
you have earned nothing to treat me that way.
i was not bad to you.
i ended it before it got ugly.

so don't tell me that i'm exhausting
you don't know who i am
you never knew me to begin with.
that's why it never worked.
