What will you ask of me? What can I ask of myself?

Loyalty is often full of scrutiny, even for me. Beware.

I knew enough about you to know the little I do.

Co-dependent, confused contradictions, soften our

virtues and values, moral superiority, questions even 

I cannot answer about myself, certainly of thee.

What emotions have you survived? Have you truly 

known a ride and die? What of the detours you didn’t 

see coming? Then, I felt you deserved more; even an 

excuse or explanation, but someone else had other ideas. 

The levity and longevity of any relationship formed over

time, will forever sit in the mind. If you think about it.
