Contradictions

You say no more

And I begged

But now I agree

We can’t go on

You say you will stay

And I say yes

But now I realize

I need to walk away

You say you are here

But I can’t see you

And in truthfulness

I need you to go

You say it is hard for you

But it’s difficult for me too

Because you go hot and cold

I am not sure you care

You say you care

But then you walk away

What do I believe?

Your actions or your words?
