I believe you to be
A good judge of character,
Deciphering lies
From honest intentions.
You are the only one
With ammunition
To blow up my hope
In shell-cased destruction.
Why do you keep
Your verdict from me,
Hiding your acceptance
In the snickering dark?
All I ask for is that
You tell me I am worthy
Of your love and concern,
But your silence reveals
Otherwise.
