Complication

Where do we start when asked,
what's wrong?
Do we only scratch the surface for
the askers sake?
Is the truth permitted in these situations?

For me the answer is complicated
It's never just one thing
It's the hundreds that haunt my mind
Ghost of the past that won't let me be

Avoiding questions for whose sake,
I don't know anymore
Does she love me, or is she just a whore?
Maybe I've made her this way

Echoes of laughter and cries make up the white noise in my mind
It's a dangerous edge that I walk sometimes..

"Does she love me, or is she just a whore?" a good question to avoid

I really like the first bit because how many of us say we're fine when we're not and like you suggest does the person asking really care anyway. Society has us living shallow lives.

It's best to try not to let past affect future relationships give people a chance I say without prejudicing...worst case scenario you'll get hurt but you'll also heal.

I'm always asking the question what is love? I think it's many different things, can be different to one persons perception to another's and I know some people show love differently to others.

Thanks for sharing an interesting write 💜
