loss
March 27, 2019
i’d rather lose someone
than use someone
well,
what if that someone
would lose themselves if they
lost you.
what if you lost yourself
by losing them
what if using them is better for
everyone.
it’s not just to use someone
it’s because deep down
down
under the surface
you care for them.
it’s just
you care for someone else too
a desire burning
for someone else
it makes me ache.
it's so scandalous
so horrific
but i love both of them
i love you
and i love you.
it shouldn’t feel so bad
like you’re hurting both
compensating for another
killing all of you.
but it doesn’t matter
because i don’t matter
it will never matter.
