Do You Really Mean It?

When you speak to me,

when you say those things,

how do I know you mean them?

Do you really mean it when you say,

I love you, or

I hate you, or

I care about you, or

I care nothing for you.

Do you believe these words?

Your own words,

do you believe them

when you say them?

I only ask,

I mean, the reason I ask,

is that, when I say them,

I don’t believe

I do.
