Let's try something:

You can do all the dishes,
Pay all the bills,
Stock the fridge,
Take out the trash,
And clean the house,
And I'll complain
About the counter
And not so much as try to help.

You can cook for an hour,
Cut and wash for half,
Bring out cake or ice cream at my beck and call,
And I'll get angry
When you knock on my door,
Worried that your meal will go cold.

You can drive everywhere
To and from the airport,
Pick up my internet friends
And take me to events full of people
You'll never know,
And I'll try my best
To be nice about
Wanting alone time
The instant you have an idea.

You can swear off your dignity,
Pretend it's okay, that you love
Someone who doesn't even take the time
To appreciate you,
And I'll wish I was living with a girl,
Because I can't tell you to your face

That I don't love you back.

It flows nicely. It's kind of sad, though :(

I like the title.

This seems to be full of sadness and anger. But what struck me most was the sarcasm. Dripping.

Nice writing.
