Don't

Tell me I'm stupid.

Tell me I'm crazy.

But don't tell me

The man I love is nothing but a monster.

Tell me it's a waste.

Tell me it's never going to last.

But don't tell me

The relationship we have is nothing but a fake.

Ask me if I'm delusional.

Ask me if I lied.

But don't ask me

If I know what he's done

To innocents

To children

To ones he's never known.

Call it treason.

Call it forgiveness.

But don't call it

Something it's not.

Nor will ever be.
