Subtle tones

How amusing

It has been for you

You laugh at me

When I try

To make you happy

Every attempt

Was a joke to you

I always knew

What I did not want

To believe

That your interest

Was solely

To deceive

To achieve

A higher standing

Over me

And all I reached

Was an understanding

Partially

Because I asked for

Communication

Clarification

Consideration

And what did I get

In return?

Another lesson

I must learn

Another reason

To yearn

For something

That will only burn

My flesh

From my bones

Hidden by
