You Never Called It What It Was
100 Lyrics into Stories — No43

“What do you think?”
You don’t answer. You never do.
I survey you out of the corner of my eye. “The silent treatment? That’s mature of you.”
Your eyes slide to me, and I can tell there’s dislike in those depths. I knew it from the start.
“Why don’t you trust me?” I ask.
Then you sigh as if the very task is a chore.
“Have you given me any reason to trust you?”
And there it is. Right there.
There’s the heart of it all.
And I know I lost at some game I didn’t realize I was playing.
This is my third take on the 100 Story Challenge! Lyrics define these stories, and this piece‘s title was inspired by “All Too Well (10-Minute Version)” from Taylor Swift.
