Sometimes I say more
than I need to
hoping that your heart will render
an I believe you
instead of thinking I’m just
like you figured

Other times I say nothing
when I should
but knowing the repercussions
if I would
and that becomes a weapon,
because you’re triggered.

So I confuse you
with my selfishness
until your will
becomes your helplessness
and I wear you down enough
to love me through

On the other hand
I play capable
of the back and forth
that I am able to
so that you know that I will never see us
the way you do.

So-So.
