Dignity (Other) by kthulah

Of course I love you! Is that not clear as day? I just don't feel that love is stable ground On which to base the dream of a pursuit The climax being but a haughty laugh. So let me love you gently from afar Without a need to selfishly acquire Without convincing you what I am worth For knowing mine already is enough. It is a given that if you were mine That I would treat you better than the rest But men, appreciation do not fire It is infatuation that they crave. So though I love you more than dignity My dignity preserved is more than naught.

i find my truth anew each day. somepeople are surprised when they drag theirs out, and it doesn't fit them anymore. he may regret dousing the light; he may never look back. i suspect his blinders keep him going. to look around; well, is unsettling. one loses one's balance. sob away, ma soeur de la coeur.
