177. Want

'What do you want?'
That's what you asked me
'What do I want?'
I ask myself now.
I posed the first question
Knowing full well the truth
wouldn't be pretty.
I needed to know,
Even if I didn't want to hear it.
You told me what I - technically -
wanted to hear.
Now you ask me.
Do I tell you the truth?
Even if it contradicts what you said?
What I want is the same as you,
but to a greater degree -
and now!
I tol dyou what you - really -
wanted to hear.
It hurt me, but I'll cope
For how could I truly tell you
what I wanted,
Knowing you didn't want me?
