this is something from last march. it was in my livejournal archives but im thinking about deleting the lj all together so i thought id salvage some of my original worse than bad poetry. hahaha.

It takes more than "I love you"
to mend these broken fences.
It takes more than flowers
to reestablish my trust.
It takes more than "I'm sorry"
to make me believe you
It takes more than your best
to overcome your worst.
It takes more than a lifetime
to make up for the pain.
It takes more than empty promises
to prove that you've changed.
It takes more than a phone call
to make your mark on my heart.
It takes more than consistency
to gain my willingness to start.
It takes more than trial and error
to understand my imperfections.
It takes more than flattery
to earn my compassion.
It takes more than jealousy
to convince me you're faithful.
It takes more than your tears
to tell me you'll remain so.
It takes more than "I love you"
to mend these broken fences.
It takes more than flowers
to reestablish my trust.
