TOO MUCH

So tired of your mood
Always snippy and rude
Nothing is good enough
Nothing I do.

Picking apart
Everything that I say
Angry , annoyed
Out to ruin the day.

I do what I can
But, you’ll never change
Where can I go
To avoid all this pain? 

Head for the hills
Salvage the day
Remove myself
Just get away.

I don’t deserve this
I do my best
Maybe you need
Some medication, some rest.

Always on edge 
I know the signs 
The tension is building
It  happens each time. 

I see it coming 
Can’t make it stop
Your hateful remarks
Spilling over the top. 

When it’s all over
You feel really bad
But things have been said
You can’t take them back.

Can’t  take this abuse 
I’ve had enough 
It’s out of control 
It’s become….. way too much.
