Unkind Love

Don't talk to me in
Intermittence.
Make yourself available.
Give me attention.
Gift me your seamless 
Compulsion.

Don't delay your replies.
I don't want the 
Time gap to act as mirror 
That reflects cracks in
Our unhinged talks.

Loosen up.
Shed the inhibition.
Bring it all and make
Me shameless.

Ridicule me. Humiliate.
The anger. The dirt. 
The love and punishments.
Give it all.

The touch that wounds
and heals alike.
The rage that hails
Upon like a fireball.

Your distance,
Your strange tenderness.
The insults, the pity,
The ghosted neglect.

Mercy to cruel little pauses.
The words that lose heat,
And the frustration that 
Feels rehearsed-

Give it all till I kneel 
Before the indifferent 
God you've become.

Give it all and
Make me yours in
Every unkind way.
Give it all till, the silence 
Between us starts
Bleeding your presence.
