Consistency

Why should I wonder

And why should I bother

To write all these lines

That I don’t know

If anyone will read

for sure no one understands

There are so many reasons

To save my thoughts

And my angst for the future

So someone will know

They don’t suffer alone

If ever the time comes

To settle the score

To compare the way

We both showed our love

I want mine to be given

In terms of continuity

And perhaps a little

In terms of retribution

For I would not want

You to think because I love you

Without exception

Despite all you did in the past

And all that you do to us now

And all you'll do in the future

For all of your your faults

And all your perfection

I would not want you to think

That you can get away with

Whatever you did

have done and will do

by what I write

every day and every night

Nor would I let you say

That ever a day went by

When you did not have

My hate or my love

That I wasn’t thinking about you
