I Fold.

As I allow you to look at me with those big, heartwarming eyes, I  know you know I'm melting.

I know that look you're giving me is only to get what you want, and oh, baby, it's working so well.

I only want, well, everything from you, but my spine is curving and I'll take something, anything.

But it appears you're just as flighty as I am, Liebling.

And even though your actions have spoken louder than your words, (on both sides of your confusing fence) I still remember what you told me, or rather how you said goodnight.

The look you gave me when I found out was more than likely misinterpreted on my part.

Wishful thinking.

But it appeared close to remorse, nearing nausea.

Which were echos of the pangs I felt.

 

"Sometimes you've got to fold before you're found out."
