Lover, I Cannot

Lover, I Cannot


Nov 97

You thought to destroy me, I know. You wished to see me on my knees, begging you to become my life once more. You wanted me to wait forever for the scraps of your indecisive attention. Lover, I cannot. You tied me to you with mendacity, gripping my heart with golden words, attempting to smash my independance. Lover, you cannot. You gave me so many gilded words that stung my heart and shackled my soul so that you felt you could play your game with me forever and I would let you. Lover, I cannot. You know how much I gave, so you took as much as you could and thought I would last forever, and you could scuttle between me and every other woman you seduce. Lover, you cannot. You thought I would allow you free access to my body and heart as long as you promised that someday might come. Ah, lover, I cannot.
