When you tell me that you love me,
Your eye moves, a flutter of a lid,
And in that I see, shame
You hate me, disgust twists your face,
Spittle flies from your mouth as you
Scream into my face, caking my cheeks
With your unrestrained malice
I blink
Your face still stays the same, expectant
Waiting for me to react, but I see a shadow
Move in that hesitant smile
You lie to me, knowing that I’ll believe you
Why? All because you’re too scared of being alone
When a better prospect comes along, you’ll
Grab whatever I’ve given you and go as
I blink
When you tell me you love me,
I didn’t believe you and, in the end,
All I did was prove myself right
