Don't love you

Some people don't love you. They ration you.
They give just enough attention to keep you
close, just enough affection to keep you
hoping, just enough consistency to keep you
doubting your instincts. It is not neglect you can
explain. It it not cruelty you can prove. But it is
the slowest kind of harm, because you start
confusing crumbs with care, and emptiness
with love.
