The Birthday Cake

 You asked for a cake

I said I’d take care of it

You asked for a cake

I said I get one

You asked if you got one

I said that I did

You said someone should have bought it

I said I did

Why did it matter


I said I had a cake for you

You went to buy another

I said I bought you a fucking cake

Yet it wasn’t good enough

Was it not the right flavor

Was it not the right icing

I do not know


I got you gift

You acted surprised 

Like I wouldn’t have gotten one

What kind of person am I

If I didn’t do such a thing


When I said I drove to get you items

You said I didn’t have too

Yet the night before

You insisted you had certain things


How is it

That what I did wasn’t good enough

Why wasn’t it

No matter what I did

No matter how I tried

You complained

Acted like you didn’t care


It’s hard to do things

When I get criticized 

Told I can’t do it right

This just shows

I am not good enough

Not even for you
