addendum (every second three)

Addendum

When you say it and it makes a difference
Then you come around and concede it
That I lack my moral frame of reference
I own my life and secede it

When I coax my solemn vows and virtue
And you turn back and deride me
I promise I will never hurt you
But you find it right to chide me

You say you own your latitude
And you want me to redeem it
I trade my general platitude
And I thought I would just dream it

On all levels, a lack of trust
And a lack of faith to defeat it
To doubt every maybe I must
Add some confidence to treat it

When you say I have no higher purpose
And you say it just to hurt me
You get to say it to my carcass
And hope it disconcerts me

- Arunabh Das
