i wish you would ask
after my feelings as
you had once worried
with expectations of forthcomingness
that were never met.
i wish you would tell me
it will be okay as
you had once reassured
with unwavering faith
that was led to loss.
i wish you would place your
palm against my forearm as
you had once soothed
with instinctive care
that was feebly reciprocated.
i wish you would let me
rest my head against your chest as
you had once allowed
with an innocent heart
that was chipped to nude.
i wish you would express your
love towards me as
you had once known
with nonexistent conditions
that were forcibly formed.
