Witholding the Risk

She doesn't understand
if she was really in love
with you,
or if she was only forcing it.
She really can't see what love is,
but now she keeps seeing you
and maybe
she's just crazy,
maybe she just wants
to be reminded of the risk
she put to be with you.
But she can't risk it anymore.
That rumor regarding her
broke her.
She's scared and right now
it hurts not to be with you,
but she knows this:
She's lying to you
to keep her parents from discovering.
She lied to her parents when
she risked love with you
and
she hated that.
So please be patient
to her. Please.
