i love you
but your anger
and frustration at the work
leaves me helpless

i will let them –
get back to their two day week
where they sit and work
and indulge in their fantasy world

you preserve your dignity and sanity
by holding your head up high
and walking away
not allowing pride or stubbornness
to make you stay

but you did not want to listen
which turned the tears into a stream
then into a raging river,
which in turn, is why the relationship –
then failed to deliver

why must all these negative traits
be the result of autism?
what does that really say
it says the person who thinks like that –
has let prejudice get in the way
