I could...

by Sakka

“I could...
tear you to pieces and scratch you, spoil you
anytime you get lost in your old weaknesses.
I could...
leave you alone, abandon you and forget you in no time
anytime you waste my patience to the bone.
I could...
make you understand who’s boss, dear
anytime, and every time I swear next time I’ll do it.
On this one I’ll let it go.”
