Emotional Joint Bank Account

by Vargas - Aquarius

I saved all I could
for you...
for me...
I deposited 
my honesty,
my courtesy,
my kindness,
and built
a level of trust
that kept me safe
and I knew that 
there would come
a time
when I would 
have to withdrawl
but as long
as I constantly
invested
then this reserve
couldn't
possibly
run dry.

It's about 
give and take

And for a while
It was just that
we maintained
consistently
a positive balance
always stayed in
check
keeping the 
mutual agreements

Then the ultimate
betrayal occured
you failed to 
communicate with me,
and took advantage 
of the account 
we had with each other,
After you took 
more then you gave
you secretly
opened
a new account,
I wouldn't have known
if it weren't for 
the (monthly) statements,
So tell me
was it because
of her ASSets?
