“Coward” (2017)

For every fuck you allowed me to coax

Into lovemaking

For every kiss you said was genuine

You are the worst type of liar

For making me believe

That in love with me you'd be

Instead of letting me know the truth

That's abuse

Of the worst sort

A heart that never knows honesty

Due to a PERCEIVED fear of fragility

My pain is magnified by the cowardice of such thinking

To think I could not take it

To believe I couldn't be okay

With what you'd say

Do not you know how deep this love runs?

Like subterranean

Ocean floors couldn't catch my depth

I love you beyond Earth's core

Didn't you see how I wept?

When all I asked is for a maintenance of being upfront

The stunt of not keeping it a buck is what made me really hurt

But that's okay, you have your secrets

And I have my sorrows

Thanks for being a friend

If only the friend part followed.
