The Hinterland He Hits Me With

He calls me a bitch
A modern day version of being a witch
A vision that does not comply
With someone else’s ride or die
And he’s a sashay
When he looks at me that way
But he’s found someone else
And it does no good for my mental health
To stare at them both
Through the windowpane of the stories you quote
Me in the dark
And it left a mark
When you said you didn’t have the time to share
With someone who would care
If you let her in
So I let you win
And you hang up the line
Somehow I know that it will be the last time
We speak for a while
And your smile
Seems stifled prude
And you act like you’re the dude
On the page you play
But I just pray
You will grow
Up and out of the mindset you know
And hit me with
So keep her lit
And let me breathe
I’m not the woman that you need
