Gim-me

Gim-me


I feel powerless.
I've never felt so weak before.
Finding out I'm so selfish
with emotions.


I want yours.
Gim-me.
That's the way I sound don't I
when I hide behind wanting to know your thoughts
or checking to see if you're ok.


It's not that I consciously do it.
I really do want to know what you're thinking,
and I want you to be ok,
and I want nothing more in the world but happiness for you.


But thats my catch:
what is happiness for you?
Is that me?
And if not,
are all my interactions
tiny gim-me gim-mes
that drive you away?


I feel so weak.
I am so powerless.
Trapped wanting you
and respecting distance.


Gim-me gim-me
patience.
Gim-me gim-me
a sign.


Wait,
give me
neither
give me in your time
give me and please respect mine.
