Responsibility And Love

Some relationships, 

Are of responsibility and love.

Some of some relationships 

Become of responsibility more than of love.

Like my food, responsibility, not love

My clothes, my house

My life

Responsibility, not love

Your fucking love,

Is responsibility, not love

You were Dominant yet distant

It’s funny how you can exercise dominance from a distance

Funny how one can touch from a distance

Twist, turn, burn, HURT, from a distance

At a young age, I started looking for alternatives to you

Never dated a guy my age

Dating

I’ve dated a lot of guys but I’ve never been dated

More like... I’ve been TAKEN UP

Like a challenge 

Challenge to heal me

Challenge to tolerate me

Or a challenge to their own apathy

I’ve been taken up as a responsibility 

Always a responsibility 

Barely, if ever, a full human.
