My pact with god

Give him what he wants,

I said to god.

And i will ask no more of you.

Ever again.

Perhaps it was a test 

Of my forbearance

That he did get what he wanted.

But i did not get him

Despite wasting on him

A lifetime's worth of wishes

Only now 

After years of trying to find detours

To asking for wishes

(And failing,

Because there are no loopholes

To a condition so specifically worded)

Did i find you

Who offered to give me

The feelings

God did not

So what if i cannot

Ask anything of god

I can ask of you

For any number of wishes
