One Word

You answer me
With just one word
For each question
As though
I am only worth
One word
Why am I not surprised?
I want to believe you
I want to earn your trust
I want to believe
That it was more
Than just lust
That I breathe air
Not dust
That the chrome shines
Through the rust
One thing
That I have learned
Each time
I got burned
Is that we must
Never give up
Even when we’re fed up
