“Through the mask of my behavior, I do not protect my raw genuine self–I overcome it.” ~Susan Sontag

longing. But I also won’t
recover from it.

but to feel you push back.

I can’t have you, no.
But I can make you a
present of this feeling.
__________
You made me pray
nightly to a God I didn’t
know existed.
