she can't understand why i told her not to call me pet names

baby

honey

sweetheart


why can't i call you that? why can't i just love you in that way?


because it's not love

it's a group of boys haggling me on my daily run

it's a middle-aged customer flirting with me at my high school job

it's my teacher telling me i'm stupid in a roundabout sort of way

it's every man's condescending tone


sweetheart means inequality, insecurity, danger

and i can't stand anyone thinking of me like that

most of all the girl i love
