I
am
not
someone who is strong enough...
I
am
not
someone who is strong enough
to hear
All those things you say
To me
I
am
not
someone who is strong enough
to hear
the things you say
to me
so carelessly
so callously
so untruthfully
I
am
not
Someone who is strong enough
To discern
These lies
From those truths
At times
When it is convenient for you
I
am
not
someone who is strong enough
To discern
Who you are to me
Why do you say this to me
when you want something from me
I
Am
Not
Someone who is strong enough
To hold
my heart
And shield it from
these words
your words
Because I hear you
my heart hears you
I see you
And
I
know
You
Are
Not
Strong enough
To know
What you are doing
to me
