betrayal is stronger and harder than ice

than the sharpened butcher knives of the store 

down the street 

and the tangy taste of the lemon I shouldn't 

have eaten 

but did. You 

think you can draw out forgiveness 

with your eyes, you think 

you can draw out the pain 

with your sighs, you think that 

i'll come running back

but I won't 

and I can't 

talk to you because 

I am afraid of 

all the things i will say
and all the things i will not do
