The Circle

I give, you take 

I real, you fake. 

I love, you hurt. 

I stay, you desert. 

 

You cry, I feel.  

You hurt, I heal. 

You ask, I do.  

I ask, you do, too.  

 

We try, we fail.  

You lie, I bail. 

I cry, you don’t.  

I try, you won’t.  

 

I show, you hide.  

I listen, you confide.  

You call, I come.  

I love, you run.  

 

I need, you provide.  

You left, I cried.  

I left, you cried.  

I tried, you sighed.  

 

You strike, I wake up.  

We fight, we make up.  

You leave, I inquire. 

You tired? I’m tired...
