To him,

She is adoring 

And She is faithful

To everyone she meets

She is persistent 

And She is unfaltering

In everything she does

She doesn’t open her heart to many

But when she does

She is the one

The one you turn to

The one you rely one

The one you trust

Her trust is earned

Her love isn’t given

She is her

When she opened herself up to you

She did it reluctantly

She did it with skepticism 

She made herself vulnerable

Something she doesn’t do to many

But she did it to you. 

She let you in 

She allowed you access

To her heart

To her mind

To her body

She let you in

You showed her your self

Or the “self” you wanted her to see

You were “vulnerable”

But it looked like gaslighting to me

You told her your “truth”

But only when you wanted something

Your mask was slipping through

Your disguise was washing away as the hours of the night went by

The words “I love you”

Arent a game

They aren’t things you can toss around

Or take back when you need them

They aren’t supposed to be used for personal gain

And Flowers are meant for love

Or to show you care

Not a cover up

Not something you buy to “make things right”

After what you did last night

The roses are forever tainted

The song is forever sung

Scottsdale street won’t be driven down

And her guard is put back up

You were supposed to protect her

You were supposed to be there for her

To be the one she looked to and leaned on

And talked to and hugged

She isn’t a toy

Not a dumb blonde 

She is brilliant

And witty

And sees things for something deeper than they actually are

She is the definition of perfection 

And Violation is a strong word

It is hard to “accidentally” do

The word erks my soul to say

And hurts my heart to think how you did that without a second thought

You did that and you knew what you were doing

You knew what you were doing

And you did it anyway

But you bought her flowers 

So I guess everything is ok.
