I Hope He Loves Me

I stand in silence to hear him

But he isn’t saying anything.

They say to watch a mans actions

But he does absolutely nothing.

I push myself beyond the point of reason

Because I believe it reveals the truth of my intention.

Requested advice from what was supposed to be my own kind

But the dominance in me yells at them to shut up when they speak.

Then someone I thought was wise told me that animals

Are better than us because they only kill for food

I said “yes, but even animals have many scavengers

Those that seek to obtain what they didn’t get themselves.”

Besides, animals fight for dead things

I fight for the living, exclusively.

The only thing I can ascertain in this situation

Is that I hope he loves me far more

Than he wants her.
