Sincerely Stupid

Gullible, 

Naive,

You took advantage of these

Characteristics plastered between my temples.

Am I that obvious?

That fragmental?

I thought you could piece what

Pieces I had left back together, 

But you played me worse than my cigarette butt,

Smoked to the filter, which promised me relief,

From the anxiety swarming inside, 

A stress-free future I thought I could see.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to take a compliment

And not question the sincerity, 

Whether they're lying, or whether they're messed up in the head.

I have no idea why, but I adore your use of the word "fragmental" . The comparison to the cigarette was gritty and gripping. I enjoyed that too;your vulnerability here is really being utilized as an effective weapon in your writing. Wear it like an armor, and swing it like a sword, love, because the way YOU use it is powerful.

Reminds me a little bit of the "you wear your heart on your sleeve" expression. My reply to that is "well, I have to wear it somewhere when no one will look me in the eye"
