I Give To You What You Give To Me Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I give to you what you give to me.
Whether in the giving it had been space,
Or thoughtlessness.
And whatever it was you expected me to take,
I did to give back unselfishly.

I give to you what you give to me.
Mood, rudeness and with a relentless attitude.
Two-faced and distance.
Whatever it 'is', was or had been...
You can not say I did not return what you delivered.

I give to you what you give to me.
Sometimes on, sometimes off and sometimes truthful.
You know...
The 'sometimey' kind.
And believe me,
I no longer wonder what it is from you I will receive.
I give you what you give to me...
Instantly, direct and without hesitation.
