Enough

[impoetry]

I don’t see why,
I couldn’t ask
Maybe once, or,
eight-hundred and sixty times,
If I’m ok,
Or at least enough,
Maybe what you wanted
Its seems, second nature,
but you don’t like trees
Or my attempts at humor
Maybe try laughing and for once,
See the forest for the trees

You call it, validation
Like it’s some sort of drug,
Something one shouldn’t seek,
When

Oh, hon. You deserve better. The best match for you won't cause you to second guess your relationship so much, even if second-guessing is second nature, because it will just feel so normal and comfortable, you might not even notice at first how normal and comfortable it feels, because you're just so caught up in the comfort of normalcy, it doesn't even occurs to you. I know you will have this. In so many other ways, too, you are more loved than you know. <3

I understand the desire for validation. I’ve found that in relationships, it should come naturally - the other person should be willing to give it without asking. They shouldn’t think something is wrong with you if you need it.

I think you’re awesome. You’re one of my favorite people.

Extremely well written...and DON'T hang around for life with this person so stuck on themselves they can't show you love. Move on, for sure.

I liked the wordplay in this, but also the unfairness and resentment of being expected to want less-- or nothing-- even when what was offered wasn't very good or suitable in the first place.

Even when what's wanted is a little love and attention, and somehow that's treated like an enormous and unreasonable demand and that the real solution is to stop being so demanding. That's no way for anyone to behave in a relationship. :(
