I've been thinking hard About every single card Since we became dangerously unstable We decided to put our cards on the table Like a bridge in a prelude I've come to conclude... You truly love me, do you not? I'm unsure if it's a little or a lot.
But despite how and what you feel You've decided to take and steal I've tasted of rejection Instead of true affection I have been abandoned and let down Just because you were born in this town You are cruel for pushing away my offered hand. All in the name of patriotism and love for your land.
Your cruelty is birthed from your innocence And unknowingly, around you, you've built a fence. You don't know how much it scratches and stings To feel you plucking and playing on my heartstrings But the worst is that you have no idea or clue About the harshness I always receive of you
So I've come to see That we can not be You love your homeland much more Than me, who's not here forevermore And you are unwilling to find a compromise Therefore, our relationship is facing its demise And although this makes my heart hurt and static From the very beginning, you've been a fanatic
The prompt I used for this poem: 'You love me, do you not? You are a cruel woman, to innocently reject a man like this, in the name of patriotism and love for your land. Your cruelty is birthed from your innocence, and, though you know it not, you are a fanatic.'
