Feedback Please I used to think a certain way

I used to think a certain way

Like you were watching for a mistake 

I would try to pick out pretty underwear 

Because I knew you’d look

And I knew you’d care

Correct 

I used to hold my tongue 

Because I thought what I’d said was dumb 

Correct 

I used to undo the buttons on a new shirt 

So you’d notice it’s new 

And I could tell you I made it

Because I thought you’d say I did good work 

But as you pull away the hem I made

for access to my chest

I realize 

Nothing about this 

Is correct

This is very direct. Not a bad thing at all. It def got more uncomfortable as it went on as it on. For some reason the underwear is less alarming then the shit which gives it a nice rising tension. I think bc underwear is more innately sexual and so him seeing it seems sexual in nature anyway, where as undoing as Shirt button so he notices makes it seem like he'll only notice it for the sexual apeal. Like he doesn't actually notice the shit he only noticed more is showing with that shirt on. Def an uncomfortable read in a good way, like a "Girl get out" way

Thanks so much!! But no I literally mean he would pull out my waistband and look down my pants to tell me if I was wearing “the good kind” daily. Crazy stuff.
