Rawhide

I don't expect you to wash my feet,
to cleanse my dirt ridden soul.
I cannot just assume that you will take me in,
feed me up and render me whole.
The message you gave was clear and true,
but people were watching
so what else could you do?
What else....... what else indeed.
Maybe all may be pulled
and I fall short,
and stumble and cry
because your love was a lie.


written as I read of a liar and a cheat. We have too many of those don't we.
