Lukewarm water

She said
"I felt like you'd spat me out of your mouth,
lukewarm water doesn't satisfy.
Neither cold nor is it hot"
She cried, her voice trembling
"For you love is a game of cat and mouse
Pulling petals off a flower, you love me
And you love me not
But I love you
I want you
But I guess I want what I haven't got"
Tears streaming, voice becoming stronger
"How you treated me is how I was taught
What you wanted, or didn't want
So I'll leave 
Your loss will haunt me but at least I'll have time
Time to ponder, time to dream, time to count
To count the children we'll never have
And wonder about this nightmare of love that you've wrought"
