Him by Christy Granger

Him

Christy Granger
This wasn’t supposed to happen
You were not supposed to happen
What a special ability you have

I do not trust easily
I do not trust at all

I gave up on love years ago
It was not for me
The torture it brought was too much for me

Here I am
What is happening
This is not like me

I will not fall for anyone ever again

I am a strong independent woman
What do i need a man for

For the way you make me feel
Never in my life has this happened to me
I would like to say it had

What a foreign concept
Safe 
I have never really felt safe

Calm
What is that

Trust
How do I trust you so completely

This doesn’t make sense
How did you do that with such ease

I do not love

I do not like
I do not trust

Love was for suckers
I had no time for it at all

Maybe I trust men after all
Maybe I don’t hate all of them
Maye they don’t all hate me
Maybe they don’t all want to hurt me

My experiences with men have never been good
Just once I wish they were
