unwilling to ask
for he will answer
thus exposing her
plastered mask
or create his own.
The pain won't go
and lonely may show
but thats the Cost
to hide the weak streak.
Oh, to just swallow
the doubt and ask
am I enough
with a hope so bleak
shes afraid to know
where his energy goes
so she just swallows
the worry and eats,
tasting her fear, like
hopeless defeat.
*she can't just ask, for then hed know she cares. So much. more than him. Much better to eat and cry and pretend not to care, for she's always fearing pain of rejection. So, it's easier to avoid the question than accept the answer. Assuming he will lie, she rejects his answer, never asking. Why complicate thoughts with reality ? Just talk to yourself until he feels rejected by you and simply eat and cry and pretend it's all on him. Damn, I wish I were a man, simple and direct.
