There she stands as if alive.
— Robert Browning
If you would just be a better wife.
If you would just be a better mother.
If you would just be like my mother.
If you would just get off the computer.
If you would just get off the phone.
If you would just have dinner ready when I get home.
If you would just stop spending money.
If you would just wash my clothes.
If you would just clean the house.
If you would just pay attention to the kids.
If you would just stop spoiling the kids.
If you would just stop taking their side over mine.
If you would just stop playing with the dog.
If you would just rub my hair.
If you would just rub my back.
If you would just put the book down.
If you would just blow me, then go to sleep.
If you would just touch my cock.
If you would just help me with the business.
If you would just leave the business alone.
If you would just get a job.
If you would just stop acting like my boss.
If you would just not make it all about your job.
If you would just realize your check doesn’t pay the bills.
If you would just see I’m not one of your students.
If you would just see I don’t have your overblown education.
If you would just see you’re just like your mother.
(If you would just not make it all about you.
If you would just not be so depressed.
If you would just not be such a nutbag.
If you would just talk about it.
If you would just spend time with me.
If you would just stop talking; I’m trying to watch TV.
If you would just try harder.
If you would just be content.
If you would just change, problem solved.
If you would just act like you give a damn.
If you would just care more about what I think than _____.
If you would just stop pissing me off.
If you would just stop saying FUCK all the time.
If you would just fuck me.
If you would just initiate.
If you would just not bait me & make me yell.
If you would just grow up.
If you would just stop yelling, then I wouldn’t yell. I’m a mirror!
If you would just pay attention to what I’m saying.
If you would just not be such a bitch.
If you would just let it go.
If you would just—never mind; it’s like talking to a fucking wall.
If you would just die.
If you would just stay.
