{i bet he writes her those poems}
  robert brewer


I bet he writes her those poems
knowing she wants him to write more
and more so she can trick him
into believing she might return
the sentiment, though he knows
(only too well!) she could never
love him like he loves her; she
reserved her heart for another,
and I bet he knows this and
writes her those poems anyway.
