regardless of all
that's been said
i am sincere
i am sincere
i am sincere
how you twisted it around
yet how beautiful you write
the words that slash my name
am i to feel shame
because I backed down
walked away
refused to argue
to play your game
that was a rare day
and because of it
you abuse your memory of me
having others believe
I am not who I am
the only warning
that need be given
is that I am human
like you
only less skilled
with the words
that I know.
