Inventory of Shortcomings

You won't ever
accept that sometimes I cry.
You won't ask
to read my writings.
You never try
to scratch the surface.
You will never
express empathy
learn to tolerate
compromise.
You will never
take our children to Sunday School
in dress up clothes
because
You will never
believe in a god.
And you will always think
you were right
You might philosophize
for hours
about creation versus evolution
but you will never understand
the value of
feeling
in emotional ultimates
But
I will always love you
Maybe because
You will never
call back.
