I never want to be anywhere ever on time

I'm not interested in selfishness
I want to protect the good ones from this charm
 
I'm ready to toss aside love for truth
 
the uncomfortableness made me want to run
away and towards purer better things
 
the lack of eye contact was intense 
and the questions made me nauseous
 
the lies revealed after
hurt more than anything
 
the  coercion and then the truth
aren't the gifts you think them to be
 
and though I scrubbed my hands for hours
I couldn't wash it away
