We’ve never built anything together
Only I have built my truth
On our mutual lie
Of this relationship lasting a while
Yet leading nowhere I could enjoy
Cos you didn’t appreciate me at all
Using only for your purpose
How stupid I was
Allowing it
For so long
I never wanted much in return
Never respected myself
That I could deserve
Something better
Than a black pig
I have felt this way many times
When you never acknowledged my mental health
All I needed
Was standing beside me
To protect me
Be my boy, my hero, my only one
Apparently
You couldn’t live up to the task
I have someone in my heart now
He’s not fully mine yet
But even without physical contact
He showed me more respect
Than you in those bloody three years
Of our bogus sexual relation
Which I now abhor most
Hoping to find a balance
And healing
In the midst of bouts of sore memory

com.fort.
com.fort. i am designed to build from within and destroy from outside. when i hear the church bell. i take pleasure in challengin’ religion. it feels sweet. when i do not have to follow schedules, rituals, celebrations. written on a calendar in red ink. yellin’ at me. do this and that, follow that, skip that. do not eat meat on fridays. even though it is the only food you have at home that day.
