Doubtful

I'm so doubtful right now 
So the fort has to stay up
I do see your heart though 
It does radiate love 
Or so it seems at times
I hear your point very well 
You mean every word you say
as far as I can tell anyway 
It's just that stench 
that I can't abide
This reeks of deceit 
I'm doubtful of your intent
It's also bitter to taste 
rather hard to swallow 
feels a little bit
contrived too, I'm afraid 
All these red flags 
glaring at me 
Got alarm bells 
blaring in my head 
I'd be an utter tool to 
ignore them
My mind wants none of it 
if I were to be honest with you 
And my heart sends you love 
though from a safe distance 
I do appreciate 
the effort you made 
But I doubt any good 
will come out of this
