Myself
I don’t really trust her.
She never keeps her promises true,
As if I'm unworthy of them.
She says promises
Should never be made
If they’re not going to be kept,
Yet she convinces me each time
With empty assurances
To trust her.
How can I when it’s already in tatters?
I don’t really respect her.
She never keeps her boundaries intact,
As if I'm unworthy of that.
She wants to protect me
When they’re crossed
With muted hints,
Yet she lets them be overstepped
For the sake of fleeting sweetened words’ comfort
To feed her bereft self.
How can I when it’s already in tatters?
I really pity her.
I really pity me.
