Crumbs

You do the bare minimum,
Nothing that is too exhaustive,
Or gives too much away,
Throw me the crumbs you can manage,
And like a fool, I eat it up,
Play into your hands,
Feigning a meaningless apology,
While you continue to ignore me,
The very person you claim to love,
Weaving a web you believe I will get trapped in,
When all the while, I chuckle to myself,
Because why would I pick up the crumbs you have thrown,
When I have been feeding myself all this time?
