‘You’re important to me’ he whispered in her ear

As he held her tightly

But all her heart heard were the words

He didn’t say like I love you and with you is where I pray to stay

He called her once in a three-day span

Not including the text he replied to

With the alphabet she presently

Could not stand

In private, he told her he was her man

But in public, he would introduce of as

Just Adrianne.

She wanted to believe him

But every synapse in her brain

Told her to leave that man.
