Reassurance

I can’t, I sigh. But you have to, you assert. There isn’t the time, I claim. But I want it, you argue. I want to give it, but not right now or today, I rationalize. What if I needed it, you probe. There are things I need too, but my plate is full, I exclaim. Then I must find it somewhere else, you profess. I can do it, I will give it to you, I assure. When will that be and how long will it take, you inquire. When I am done, I blubber. Well, I am done, you declare. Please, I beg When will you be done, you retry. Never, I murmur. Never is too long, you calculate. But- I begin. No buts, what are you so busy with, you demand. Loving you, I whisper.

Notes

Reassurance, it can be both positive and negative. With past experiences though, I know how negative it can be when demanded. Its hard enough to give to someone when you're already giving them your whole heart, and yet they still desire it. What is with this obsessive need for desire when you already have me, all of me?
