All I wanted was for you to love me.
Like Ophelia loved Hamlet
And Augustus loved Hazel
And Snape loved Lily
I wanted you to love me.

So I listened quietly to your heat
And mimicked all it’s fragile longings
But you did not love me.
And I wrapped up your desires
In the palms of my hands
But you did not love me.
And I cradled all your secrets
Tightly to my chest
But you did not love me.

And you pressed your worries to my throat
And dripped your fears into my hands
But you did not love me.
And you danced with me in spotlights
And laughed at all my jokes
But you did not love me.
And you kissed me in the evenings
And you ****** me in the dark
But you did not love me.

And I was everything you asked for
And everything you wanted
But you did not love me.
I was everything you needed
And everything you loved
But you
Did not
Love me.
