I saw the pain
in your eyes
as you advise
that once we were allies
but my lack of faith defies
your efforts, your plans, and leaves us capsized.
You wonder how I live
in so much fear
as you sneer
at my trembling hands.
You seem like a seer
so wise but so unclear.
Now you say you can’t draw near
because I’ll jump and turn away.
You don’t try to allay
my nervousness, you just lay
all your cards on the table
and label me unstable
Tell me I believe in fables
but that I’d shoot Prince Charming
for potentially harming
me with his crown.
So now we’re both arming
for a battle against each other
all because I can smother
us both with my needs
while your arrogance impedes
my trust
