Do This

“Do this,” you said,

and I did it.

“Do this,” you said again, with a slightly different tone,

and I did it.

“Do this,” you repeated, as if you actually had a clue,

and I did it again.

“Do this,” you ordered, playing the game in textbook fashion,

and I did again, despite knowing the outcome.

“Do this,” you whined again, as if you’ve actually helped at all,

but this time I waited.

And I will keep waiting to see if I was right.

So will you tell me to do it again?

Or is this where it ends?
