want

[izzy66]

you want and want
"please, please,
i'll not ask
for more."
so you get and get
then your wants
begin again.
you want to rearrange
death and life,
make bargains
that cannot be made.
"if only, if only..."
you cannot beg and plead,
want what you want
and leave it to me
to provide all your needs.
"but I love, I love..."
you say
then discard what you loved only
yesterday
for what you want
today
and
tomorrow
your wants begin again.
I am so weary as you make your new lists.
you want and want
so, for you,
i've discarded me,
i've set me free,
will no longer provide
all your needs
and now that it's too late,
now,
now you want me.
