i don't want a love
so unequal
so dominating
so disrespectful
i don't want a love
full of obligations
full of demands,
commands
i want a love
we both have equal rights in
a love
we can speak freely in
i don't want a love
so unequal
so contradictory
in which you expect
what you don't give
i want a love
i don't have to report to
a love
that respects me
for who i am
i don't want a love
in which i'm terrified to
say something
do something
i want a love
i can speak up for myself in
in which i'm no one's person
but my own
i don't want a love
so controlling
so unjustified
so disappointing
