That was your battle cry, I heard it loudly as your anger exploded
Like a geyser when the pressure allows it to escape unchecked
I gave her everything, I always offered everything everything she’d want
Did I what ? you say
You scoff, why would I need to ask what she would want?
I chose things to give her, pretty things to dress her up in like my own doll
Yet she looks at me like I don’t know her at all!!
What would she like you to spend most? I ask
Why there’s only money, you absurd creature (he’s chortling now, looking for an audience)
He folds his arms laughing loudly.
And pales when I whisper “time, you never spent time”.
