one sided
there once was a time I breathed you in
and never wanted to exhale
after giving all I could
until there was no more
if only just once
you cared enough
to ask me
how I
feel

I understand
Inhaling your essence long ago
desirous of your needing me
as I drank of your pity
drowning in loneliness of
self degredation,
sheer absence of
emotion
for my
love
