The Bells Have Made Me Deaf

I am not she
The one you want to punish
I am the scapegoat
For unresolved emotions.
Why burden me with expectations
That I can only claim as hope?
You deny a relationship that hasn’t happened
Which makes me think
It’s what you really want
But fear.
You run in circles
Chasing your tail
Getting dizzy and confused.
I can only wait until you stop
Or fall over
And start to focus on reality.
Maybe then you’ll know
That time has no means
To dull sincerity’s edge.
