Unrequited.

Naked king, you're still pretending
waving a stick over a mud pie village.

Once you grabbed my faith
and broke it over your knee.

I let you do it, I was scared
and I so wanted to please you.

You paid me in tears and emptiness,
wrote a check for silence.

So, I emptied my pockets
of all the unanswered questions

And shelved the words I wanted to scream.
Because nice girls don't speak their mind.

I waited.

I     waited.

And I was not forsaken.
