do you love me ?

or is that just another

thing you say ?

bitter promises

uttered

with a sweetness

on your tongue

all of which

you don't mean 

pretty eyes

and buttercup smiles

make it easy

to forgive

deadpan silence

and delphinium blues

every time i end up

back here with you

heavy hearts

poison filled veins

i think that maybe

this is killing you too

i shouldn't feel bad

for the boy who cries

and lies

   and cuts ties

yet i do

im wondering how

i ended up here with you

i work

work

work

i try  

try

try

silly boy

don't you understand ?

dancing

takes two

you say you do

and yet here i am

learning to tango

alone
