I hate the way you always
seem to reduce me
to nothing more
than a pitiful whore.
I hate how I always
have bound myself
with the shackles of your judgement
and opinion.
I hate the way you always
seem to reduce me
to nothing more
than a pitiful whore.
I hate how I always
have bound myself
with the shackles of your judgement
and opinion.
Some nights I whisper to my pillow
a hushed prayer
hoping that you are happy.
Sometimes when I light incense
you’re the one
I light it for.
Sometimes when I look up at the moon
I smile,
thankful that
despite
all time
and distance
we sleep under the same sky,
and I share the same moon —
it just takes me a
little
longer
to see it.
