losing what 
never was
established

trust issues
that nickname
is for you

asking me
to turn on
read receipts

~~~

acting hard
with a soft
Achilles

you cannot 
admit to
having so

instead we
talk around
your concerns

~~~

it appears 
you have a
tendency

to focus 
on wrong things 
because you

aren't able
capable
of doing

~~~

the hard things
examine
programming

that i have
no desire
to alter

therefore i
am calling
quits on this

Thank you Alice!
