Hypocrisy is
Claiming moral standards to which one's behavior does not conform.
Hypocrisy is
Calling in on the same
day as me when my "cousin" died
telling your boss you needed
to be with me while
telling your mother I acted
alone.
Hypocrisy is
telling me I am not as alone
as I feel and
then leaving me broken, sobbing,
damaged three times in two days.
Hypocrisy is leaving my clean clothes
crumpled in a basket at the
opposite end of the house and
then asking me why your clothes
are not dry yet.
Hypscrisy is promising me a life.
A child. A family.
Protection.
and then blaming me for your being
"held back."
It's leaving when you promised you wouldn't,
couldn't be that kind of man.
