If you promise to stay,

If you promise to stay,

will you really

not go?

I'm not sure I can take

much more heart break.

Am I always drawn to the liars?

The helpless,

hopeless,

and mean?

I thought like attracts

like.

But here I am,

counting crows 

and

only snow could

clean my 

slate.

At least I have been honest.

At least one of them was,

and I didn't even sleep

with him.

"She's nothing but a sister"

he says.

How sad.

Nothing but a 

little sister.

Yet she has the capacity to

eat men whole,

to fight back

to heal wounded

hearts,

and yet... she was right.

She understood when

no one else could.
