***
You are deserving of me
like you always have been
born to be
But you aren’t worthy of me
in the words you
don’t say
nor the
missing actions
I shall not betray my soul
for promises
never spoken out loud
only because the truth is
that you deserve me
but as does everyone else,
and everything I touch
will be an extension of
my existence
And yet,
you are not worthy
not because of a lack
but because of a choice
not to be.
