When the Fruit Sours
I’m not sure why I feel it
 It should not still be there
 Why is this all lingering?
 This just seems so unfair
 The cut was so deep
 An everlasting scar
 I’m not sure how to move onward
 Even though we’ve come so far
 What is it I need?
 It seems a constant reassure
 Please extinguish the past
 Please make it a blur
 Your words may be soothing
 So gentle and kind
 But the thought of the past
 Still stays in my mind
 It’s just certain words
 Waiting to be said
 Why can’t you just say them?
 The way they play out in my head
 I know no one’s perfect
 It’s needless to say
 But it seems no reassurance
 Satisfies me the right way
 It just doesn’t sit right 
 Your allegiance I still ponder
 I fear for the day
 Where your heart may want to wander
 Curiosity over powers
 And doubt may over come
 What do you do when the apple sours?
 You throw it out because you’re done
 So please don’t expect the capacity
 The fulfillment of my trust
 I cannot give it all to you
 In fear you will break it out of lust
