Don't Say

I don't say I respected you before,
But things grew worse between us yesterday.
There are some other things that I won't say.
It looks like you thought you'd even the score,
Although I'd say (and I could say much more)
That matters haven't changed much anyway.
Proportion and good sense are kept at bay.
Should I speak further? Curse you? What a bore.

I've said it all, but maybe not enough.
You bubbled endlessly about the past,
The future, and your heart. That wore thin, fast.
I will say that when everything got tough
You did give up. You'd make a powder puff
Seem strong, unyielding, hard. That's what will last.
