Expectations

Oh, how fragile and high you are,
Like a precious gem,
So easily shattered
Because you were placed too high.

You wonder why I’m upset.
I wonder why you failed
My expectations.

If only I could share how I feel with you,
But speaking would only place me
In the wrong,
When you wronged me first.

Why couldn’t you live up
To my expectations?
Rather, after falling short,
You still made me
The culprit.
