Title: Passive Aggressive
Your negative, destructive attitude
Your subtle acts of hostility
Your backhanded compliments
Your sly use of your ability
Hit me with your angry smile
A lie to hide your hate and resentment
Sulk and withdraw, insist your not upset
Be content in your fake presentment
Procrastinate when asked a question
Don't worry, I guess I will learn to stop asking
Forget to do something important
I'll do it next time! To avoid feelings you're masking
Be sullen if I have crossed you in some way
Or present your with facts you must face
Shut down the conversation, one word answers
Intentional inefficiency, in your case
Omit relevant information I'll need
Claim ignorance when it all hits the fan
Secretly take pleasure in my failing
Be honest, this was entirely the plan
"Why are you so upset? I was only joking!"
Feign shock when confronted with facts
I'm worn down by your indirect hostility
How many knives for all those backs?
