Neither

I could scream it one thousand times
I could whisper it in your ears
But it never would reach you

You block out my incessant needs
With false promises and neglect
Pretending that I am not here crying
That my words are not coherent
My dreams are lackluster and irrelevant

There's more to me than you know
You preach of your love, but don't show it
And expect me to respond on a whim
As though you are all I'll ever need
But I don't need you
I swear, I do not

There's a difference between necessity and longing
And now, I have neither
