I Gift You

I bathe you in riches,
You offer me thorns.

I give you my love,
You throw me a storm.

I offer you happiness,
You take it like a boar.

I recite you a poem,
You shred it like a chore.

I gifted you everything in this world...
& yet you handed me nothing in return.

Just a bed of withered roses, tangled by its own roots.

O, how love aches, don't you approve?
