reputation
all you have

worth
more to you
than just
telling me the truth

worth
more to you
than just doing
what you'll say you'll do

not there because you want to be
just because you promised me
and can't mess up
your reputation

reputation
solicitation
of the real
or unreal
feelings for me
can't disappoint me
for yourself

but I love me
believe
since your reputation is all you have

I can leave
