Two Wrongs Don't Make A Right
I have to explain
candidly
that I do not appreciate
emotional limbo
I am not a masochist
I want certainty
or at least a shared smile
a secret affair is fine
as long as you romance my heart.
Please know
there are so many sides to me
Pieces of hurt
wrapped around my heart
clinging transparent
spider webs of injustices
I am not always
going to let my drink do the talking
I can't always make the first move
Just do the right thing
because the first night
you said the right things
and its only fair
to be consistent
and work gently
with a heart so sore
and young
and innocent
who has waited nineteen years
for someone who will send flowers
the morning after
and maybe even write her a poem
a love letter
an email
for no reason
I thought maybe I was waiting for you
but now I know
I am only waiting
for you to let me go.
