Misanthropes

So you've come to terms with

What she might say.

But you're going anyway.

Just to learn what it might be like

Oh, to be right about someone for once

in your life.

But nothing feels right words are too light

for what you want to say

So, you're testing her patience

loneliness could end with a name

But you're getting all the words wrong

"Trust no one" is all you say.

So you've come to terms with

what she might do.

But you're done with the misanthrope

that lies within you.

So throw yourself at the mercy

of what could not be.

(This could not be.)
