Every time
You put me in the untenable position
to say yes when it really is a no
And ask me
Do I still
Am I still
Would I still
No
Little by little
It was lost
chipped
when you
derided
devalued
denied
used gas to light me
instead of lighting the spark
required
overcare
raising
saving
every single one
except me
this is
not
what I promised
what I vowed
What I said yes
This is
far
from the beginning
untenable
the answer is
No more
No longer
I can’t
do this
anymore
