From here I see

the end of things

though the beginning is not

-

so clear.

I refused to

believe your words

before and I never

did, but now

I find I really did

-

until now.

You’re so honest

all the time

but I knew you

-

didn’t know

what you were saying.

I had hoped

you did.

-

You didn’t

know what

you were promising.

I wish you had

-

seen it

that you shouldn’t

speak if you are

unsure.

I made you

-

no promises.

I was afraid

to break them.

You made me

-

promises. You

weren’t afraid.
