“I’m thinking of new ways

to love myself, but so far

all I have thought of

is making more time

for me and less for you.

I’ve been sinking myself

into my old hobbies

that I gave up when I

realized that none could

ever be more pleasurable

then when your hands

are upon me. I need to

stop soaking myself in you

and start drying off the parts

of me that I hid for the sake

of your own eyes. I am

so much more than someone

who always stays, who never

gives up even when everyone

around me has gone home.

So for now I am thinking

of new ways to love myself

more, but so far all I can

think of is loving you

a little bit less.”
