Please Do Not Trust Me

please do not trust me
not to let you down
in little ways
because i will

and do not trust me
not to let you down
in a big way
because i may

please do not trust yourself
not to let me down
in little ways
because you will

and do not trust yourself
not to let me down
in a big way
because you may

though we will let each other down
i trust we trust that when we do
the one who does the letting down
will feel let down too
