self-fulfill

don't remember
to open up your heart
from what you found out

last time you went through this, it
wouldn't have been the last time, and
as it turns out, neither

would you. You couldn't prove any truer
but you try, try again and tell yourself
you like it this way. Yourself. The one who
tries.

Next time,
promise yourself something else. Promise
that next time

you will give up before and during,
not after and because of.
