Poem Title:
Poem
Sex is the sharing of the souls. When I am inside you, you are inside me. When our eye’s meet, our shame meets. It’s ironic how I can only meet your gaze in the most intimate moment of our relationship. I construct my own reality from a fantasy land, living in the grandeur of illusion. But when your hands roam over me, I feel like more than just a man. Some kind of jaded masculinity molded from guilt. My love for you is all I can give to you. You deserve better than this. A dysfunctional codependent relationship, I am a martyr, and you are a masochist. Why do you “Love the way I Lie”, in the broader scheme of things, this life isn’t right. If I were you I would cut my loses and say goodbye. Say goodbye to the stagnation and the toxic rumination of this love born of pity and fueled by a sense of guilty obligation. I am afraid to read what my diagnosis would be…Narcissist, sociopath…Yeah that could be me. I love you more than I love myself, I know that. I am obsessed with you. But you are not a possession and you can choose. Trust me girl, anything but the air I breathe I would rather choose you. But even my air I would willingly give to you. You already have my heart and my mind too. So I had a deadbeat childhood, and you did too. That’s probably the source of our attraction. But the fundamental difference between me and you, Is that you refuse to be a victim, and all I do is worry about life without you. Textbook head case, a legitimate nutcase, those are my character traits. You are so damn beautiful it is consuming to be in the same room with you. Without a doubt there is no greater feeling than walking hand in hand with you. I may be sick. I may be addicted to you, But without a second thought or a moments doubt I would die for you. But for the sake of your future, girl it’s time for me to lose you. Run, don’t look back. You better believe I will remember you. Who the hells knows why you ever loved me, Or ever walked up to me in the first place. But you have carried this burden too long. It’s not fair; you have done far more than your fair share. So it’s time for you to leave, we both know that. You have just been waiting for me to confront that fact. But before you leave, one last thing, It’s all I have left to share, Take my air.
