love gone wrong

maybe we gave
too much
to the boy. too many gifts,
too much
attention
too much
love and joy.
too many toys.
maybe we were wrong
in being
so attentive, attending
every game
or show,
or interest he was
involved in.
maybe we ruined him
from the start.
never allowing him
to struggle
or to
be without, maybe that's
why
the fruit has spoiled.
