remember what you said?
of course you can't,
you forget what you want,
whenever you feel it be
most convenient,
most safe and especially
most satisfying.

you could have said
you were lying,
that later on,
months from then,
that it wouldn't work out
and that i would end up alone
again.

encore after bit
that you perform,
saying the same things
you said you never spoke,
making me choke
on those empty promises
you always propose.

i wasn't enough
for you to mess up,
you had to keep trying
to not only be right by me,
but to be with me again.

as if that could ever happen.

you were great,
really it all was.

it's just
that was a different time
when i didn't have to be careful
about what you would do.

i didn't have to be afraid
that i would be losing you.
