if you love him
just say so
truth becomes you
so much better
than lies or subtle evasions
will you be honest
with me for once?
i’m slowly being poisoned
through my life-blood
and i don’t know
how much more i can take
don’t dismiss me
with a wave of your hand
and a condescending word
i can handle the truth
but i won’t be walked over
if he loves you
i understand
just tell me
i’m tired of not
being able to trust you
i’m sick of doubting
i feel like you’ve locked
me outside your walls
and drawn the shutters
over your eyes
i’m not going to go along
this time pretending it’s okay
it’s not
i’ll be your bridesmaid
and dance at your wedding
with a feather-light heart
if that’s what will happen
just look me in the eye
this time
