first-timer?
last-timer!
i say so
for show
this is how i
should be
because he'll leave
me
if i don't
and that's enough
isn't it just
enough?
but it doesn't mean
much
in retrospect
i need to
do so
for myself
obedience in
submission
but am i
submissive?
pardon me as i
rip the bleached hair
from my skull
and scrape my nails
on the floor
sorry i slighted you
but i feel
slightly
caged
people incessantly
storm in for
interventions
"help me
help you"
no.
i listen
and i listen well
and guilt lays a
layer of weight
when i disobey
so hands folded
head down
eyes closed
i surrender
past and present
fallacies
because ultimately
he that matters most
is the one that loves me
