Quantity vs Quality

We'd talk for hours

About nothing noteworthy.

The quantity was huge,

And should be enough.

.

But don't I deserve more?

.

Not minutes,

But moments:

Tidbits to laugh at,

Things to remember.

Reminisce about the world

With touch that'll spark

Not lust,

But love.

.

I deserve this and more.

.

I deserve quality

After living to suffice

These half empty loves

And hollowed out lies.

.

It's not too much to ask.

.

I deserve to feel

My heart cry out

In relief at what is mine.

Love will someday swell within,

I'll know it won't be leaving again.

After all this time,

And all this pain.

I am worthy of quality.

I will get it at last.

.

I won't be silenced again.
