Jabberwocky

You tried only my patience
When I offered you my greed.
I sought to serve my appetite
You sought to serve your need.
The pity that between them
No menu was agreed.

    The enigma of a misplaced relationship and likely much more besides.
    Neat fit in the writing.

      I think all my relationships have enigmas! No shortage of fuel for my poetry then 😀.
      Thanks

    • Cheeky Missy

        My friend, this one has teeth! Sharp, clever, and painfully true about two people expecting entirely different exchanges. Loved it. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
