of anything
you require too much
you are someone who likes to be kept
I need someone
who
gives
you take
and it might not be your fault
you’re just so used to
people doing things for you
you become soft
unwilling to produce effort
it can happen to the best of us
I want a partner
not a pet
it’s difficult
because my eyes like looking at you
and you are smart
and funny
but you aren’t what I need
you are the opposite
of everything I am
everything I consider
vital
I need to stop this
affection
before
we end up in places
we can’t get back from
when all the lines have been crossed
and bridges have been burned
we have only the capacity
to turn into strangers
who don’t greet
each other
don’t speak
don’t share anything
anymore
