WTF do you want me to do?!
Better yet: WTF do you want?!
You're telling me one thing but doing another!
You tell me I'm worthless,
So I tell you I'm leaving.
Then you hold my hand without asking,
And you ask, "Wait, you're really going...?"
With the loneliest tone I've ever heard.
You scan me up and down and look at my "curves"
Then you tell me I'm beautiful--
Inside and out--
So we go out and I try on a dress
And with the most insensitive laughter
You chuckle out, "Dude, you're kinda fat!"
Hmm... am I the only one who sees a problem in that?!
I can obviously fight my own battles;
I'm fighting you right now, aren't I?
So stop acting like I'm a child.
Stop trying to "protect me" like I'm yours to keep forever.
You and I weren't born together
And you know we're not meant for each other
So quit acting like we're attached at the hip
And realize that you're only killing me,
That you're killing us,
By holding on but pushing me away.
If I could have it my way,
I might as well be dead today.
Maybe then you'll see and value me
For who I really am as a woman and as a friend
Someone who'll willingly serve you until the end
Instead of a prisoner of your incessant
Inconsistent signs of "tough love"
(But no offense to The Man above)...
I just wish you knew what you were doing to me.

(wanted to add more)
i like the mix of free verse and rhyming, very good. i know many people who are in this same situation and its tough. you know they're just hurting each other, yet they have this familiarity and dependency on each other to not let go.
i also saw a hint of eminem's "dear stan..." in there =P
i sorta feel this. =/ good shtuff. wtf
