I must scale the wall that other men have made you build.
I must find a way to show you that I am not them.
You’ve already established that I am.
I must prove to you that I am true and real and honest.
But I cannot climb that high.
What could they have said to you?
What could they have done to hurt you so bad?
You already expect me to follow suit.
What is that they left you with that I must fight through?
I cannot keep shoving at this door.
Did they raise a hand or voice?
Did they bed another while courting you?
You’re already setting me up for the fall.
Did they leave you after claiming their stake?
How can I show you I am not at all the same
How long do I keep trying?
Do you hope that I’ll give up on you?
How long are you willing to hide behind this veneer.
And prevent yourself from being loved?
