Why am
I surprised?
do I look stunned to you?
when you should be the one
caught
off guard
Left with empty hands to match your
blank expression
You are the Queen of cynicism
Mistress dismiss and defile
You who laugh at romantic gestures
and all things illogical
don't come to me now with
starry eyes and talk of passion
don't come to me now with
poems held to your chest and words of desire
you said you weren't built that way
remember?
