Scorpio Mercury
I’m having trouble understanding something.
If the words you say are supposed to have depth, truth, and meaning,
where’s the substance?
When you said “I got us,”
was I only supposed to think that meant the check?
When you looked me in the eyes,
held my face,
and told me we’re family now,
that we have our own traditions,
I believed you.
And how convenient
that I had just cut both of my parents off.
You knew I needed family.
I looked forward to the holidays we would spend together.
When you made love to me,
even though neither of us wants kids,
why did it make you cum
to tell me you were going to put a baby in me?
Why were you so invested in our future?
Why did you say all those things?
And how could they disappear so quickly
without warning?
Do words matter?
Do they mean anything?
What gives words their meaning in the first place?
What are words
if there is zero integrity behind them?
