The Queen and the Ass


I love you is hard to say

when you don't believe

the words as you speak them.

 

My heart feels nothing as I hear

your fake sobs 

over the phone.

 

I love you is easy to say

when you believe every 

word as you speak them.

 

My heart soars as I see

you walk

through the door.

 

I love you is a term

meant to be about the other,

not yourself.

 

Showing your deepest

affection, showing

yourself for someone else.

 

I love you, I say

as I look into 

her eyes.

 

I love you, I used to say

as I looked into

his eyes.

 

She gave me the world,

she gave me

birth.

 

He tried to break me,

he tried to break

us.

 

Why do you hug me,

so much?

Because I love you.

 

Why don't you say 

you love me?

I don't feel it.

 

Is that bitchy?

Do I have 

An attitude problem?

 

Well, what do you think

I thought when you

told me I was a 

DISAPPOINTMENT.

 

Because I love her

and she loves me,

I don't need to love you.
