X-ASPERATINGLY IMBALANCED

I cared about you too intensely,
You cared about me slightly; if that.
I needed to hear from you daily,
You’d happily go without contact.

I was several shoulders to cry on.
When I needed you, I received space.
As our so-called love was imbalanced,
It’s no shock it fell flat on its face.
