I Never Expected

He never thanked me for anything
I guess he just forgot.
But it wasn’t a big deal...
I never expected any more.
He loved me.
When it was convenient for him to do so.
And he told me how he felt about me.
Well, never.
But that was alright.
I never expected any more.
I loved his touch.
He loved his power over me.
He played his games,
handled his errands,
and I sat there
imagining the alone time which would soon come
if I just waited a little longer.
It hardly ever came.
He had other plans.
But that was ok.
I never expected any more.
We’re over now.
He stopped pretending that he cared.
But I’m ok.
Because...
I never expected any more.
