As long as

                                              -Hospital Cave,  Cat-ba Island

As long as you look the way I see you…

I trust you.

As long as you see the way I see things…

I trust you.

As long as you detest because it hurt me…

I trust you.

As long as you smile because I think it’s true…

I trust you.

As long as you fail because I think you deserve it…

I trust you.

As long as you lament because I think I do not deserve it…

I trust you.

Thus, I trust you as long as,

Your perceptions

Your complexes

Is all an extension of myself… 

But

When you disrupt my trust,

I am coerced to confront

The self- broken and demeaned,

From which I gleefully escape,

When I try to see you like me

Broken and demeaned.
