I will never be the person you want me to be
Who sits here so casually
I have never asked the weight of the world
Only that you would grant me the favor of your company
Yet in all your opulence
You cannot grant me that
In all of your jest
You can’t only offer words dripping of false insecurity
I have loved you
Yet you have forsaken me
So I stand here on this rock
Asking for more than a heavy hand
And you can only offer
Words laced with venom
So I ask if you
If you cannot offer me peace
Can you at least offer me passion
To inflate my sails
And allow me to be buoyed with something
Other than my own thoughts
