Love me like I love you
I love you like
the glorious swell of the ocean,
rushing forward,
sweet and strong,
oh so strong.
My love is all-encompassing,
a fire all-consuming,
bright and full of promise.
Why then am I
only greeted with
cautious caresses and worried glances,
half-hearted kisses and silence?
I’m bone-weary and
I ache.
Why can’t you love me like I love you?
God, I ache.
