Communication

I cared about your smallest needs

You saw it as interference in your life.

I thought love was sharing our lives

You always needed your space.

I cooked delicacies for all those I loved

You thought I envied your lithe figure.

I gave your sister all the freedom that you asked for

She accused me of being indifferent.

Communication was always sabotaged

We never spoke the same language.
