Seems Distinctly Unfriendly

No misunderstandings So I've over explained But the more I say The more it rains So I'll take my words Let less be more Leave explanations At the door Don't explain Let it all play out True intent shown Leave no doubt Whether plan Is to help or harm I'll stand well back Try to be calm Things look like they are They are as they appear Promises broken Danger seems near Maybe hear my words Note what I ask Don't continue Wanting me to react I believed promises made Trusted spoken word What transpires now Makes me feel absurd Putting me in harm's way Forgetting all you said Playing into caricature Situation I misread

When needed most going Awol or heaping on the stress.I got sick,I repeat sick ,of asking myself am I being unreasonable ? Is it being unreasonable to ask to have your presence on this planet acknowledged by one who supposedly signed on as your number one fan.After a point I saw I offered loyalty to him even at my own metal healths expense only to see he never enrolled in my one sided mutual (hah)admiration society.And I told my battered heart as I took it home ...rest .
