I look up at you with beseeching eyes,
Like an idiot.
I ask endless questions,
And beg for an explanation,
Like a curious toddler.
I wait to know what I could have done
to experience reciprocated love
And be eternally cared for,
Like an abandoned puppy.
No matter how hard I try to delineate,
No matter what I equate myself to,
you will never be able to fully comprehend
Why my forgiveness is choked back
unlike ever before.

I look up at you with beseeching eyes,
Like an idiot.
I ask endless questions,
And beg for an explanation,
Like a curious toddler.
I wait to know what I could have done
to experience reciprocated love
And be eternally cared for,
Like an abandoned puppy.
No matter how hard I try to delineate,
No matter what I equate myself to,
you will never be able to fully comprehend
Why my forgiveness is choked back
unlike ever before.
