Parapraxis Poem by Anita Khelawan

I want to give you the world
But I ain't your girl
Rewards of relationships
You scratch my back
And I'll scratch that

I'm struggling to stay a float
And there you are writing another bank note
I did say I'll always be there for you
But I feel mistreated and used
My kindness you have abused

You say I don't know my place
And if that was the case
I'd be just a mere friend
I am not your companion
Because a mere friend doesn't lend
And you wouldn't hold my affection at ransom
