You tell me that you love me. And I believe you. But you only love me As much as you have to. You only love me As much as is expected of you. Sometimes I am jealous Of my own love for you. I wonder what it must be like To be loved that much. To have someone willing To not only die for you But to live for you. I wish I could love you less. I wish our love could be equal. But instead your lack of love for me Is matched by my undying love for you. There is no balance between us, Only one parched and dry And the other overflowing with love.

Parched
You tell me that you love me. And I believe you. But you only love me As much as you have to. You only love me As much as is expected of you. Sometimes I am jealous Of my own love for you. I wonder what it must be like To be loved that much. To have someone willing To not only die for you But to live for you. I wish I could love you less. I wish our love could be equal. But instead your lack of love for me Is matched by my undying love for you. There is no balance between us, Only one parched and dry And the other overflowing with love.
