I quit

I give. You win.
You say you want to see me happy
Yet you dangle it
Just out of my reach

You claim to love me
Yet it's conditional
You hold me to higher standards
I'd have to hold sainthood
To even come close

I'm not a stupid person
Despite my desire to hang on
To the glimpses of the you
I only get to see in my sleep.

I can't do this anymore
I refuse to lay down
And be the doormat you need
My emotions are spent
My need to be there for you
Is nonexistent
This is what you wanted
You asked for, in fact
This time I won't go back
You win.
I give in
I give up
I quit.... again.
