Chapter 33 - A TRADE I COULDN'T MAKE

I wanted a trade

I wanted your heart for mine

But you only wanted to take not to give

You wanted to own me

Possess me

Haunt me

While I begged for the scraps you were willing to feed

I wanted your attention

I wanted you close to me

I wanted a connection that couldn't be severed

But you wanted control

You wanted a puppet with strings that you could hold

That you could keep afar

But bring close when you desired

I wanted your love

I wanted your affection

But you wanted lust

You wanted my body not my heart

You wanted to touch me not to hold me

To keep me yet discard me

To call only when you long for my body

I wanted you

I wanted your heart

Your mind

Your soul

I wanted to be the reason you craved your next breath

To hold your mind hostage as you take over mine

I wanted to own you
