Lavish: Anthology I

No Trust

I can't trust these women.

They might watch me slip

Into my private inhibitions.

And make them public,

As they just deny what I've been risking.

Life cannot be life if I should

Try to be a victim,

But that's not what I've written.

I can't cry to see a difference,

They might call it different.

When I can be your whisper

You act like your deaf and you

Won't even try to listen.

Maybe it's not meant to be

So I won't make that visit

And your cry forms a river,

You realize what you've been missing.

By then I'll be too distant.

You were the only one,

But now I have so many,

I could dwell upon the past,

That doesn't make sense because

I knew it wouldn't last.

My heart has relaxed,

So you can worry me no more.

Life has brought me plenty.

You were the only one,

But now I have too many.
