Deadly Games

Nothing

You asked me today

In your pretty white coat

"Do you trust me?"

And I didn't say a word

"I made a commitment to be here

As long as you need.

It's my job"

And I didn't say a word

"You can tell me anything"

"I promise"

And I didn't say a word

"What can I do to make you

Trust me?"

I shrank down in my chair

Lowered my gaze from my hands

To the ground

And said

"Nothing"
