Analysis of Counterfeit Relationship



Disregard will make a relationship turn from front to back;
 Nothing is substantial, and nothing is intact.
 There is talk, but it's pollution because nothing is heard.
 Communication is more positive without a spoken word.
 I refuse to deal in counterfeit. I want only genuine.
 A counterfeit relationship will only make us blind;
 Blinded to each other's needs, then blinded to our own.
 It's just a wasted garden consumed by weeds and stone
