Misery

What I Want From You

July 12, 2019 by Deanna Repose Oaks

I want more than grunts & grumbles
More than 1 syllable answers to questions
More than staring at cell phone screens
Ignorance
Blasphemy
And all that you seem
To want more than me

I want cuddles
Truths
Sacrifice
Love
Something greater than misery

But you offer none of that
Less I am sure
Because that is what I get
Every day
Forevermore
