Weak

To be a strong man.

If I were a strong man, 

I’d have addressed my misgivings 

From your reckless speech, which made me feel small.

If I were a strong man,

I’d have fought back in every one-sided argument you used to practice your lungs.

If I were a strong man,

You would have never thought you could use me like you did.

If I were a strong man, 

I’d be confident and swift after discerning that you never cared at all, that you were silent on purpose.

I didn’t want to leave you, and I didn’t want you to leave me,

So I stand before you,

Weak,

And I’ve fallen to you again.
