You asked for a date

You asked for a date

Dignity , preservation
Of my sanity  .
The mental balance
Stability.

Will not be legislated
Necessitated
For the empty words of your association

You asked me to trust
Your words sweet , a association
Of love.
Stability , compromised.
So many times when you called
Alibis a defense  of a soul

You asked for a date
The return of love was your escape
Did the next kiss leave a bitter taste  

I trusted you ,not to change
With only myself to blame
See I believed in your escape
True love will be mines one day
