Empty But Not Emptied

You are a thing to me, a nothing
a single-serving
much like a paper napkin
of no significance to me
used and discarded
thrown away and forgotten
you are a vessel
through which I unleash my desires
an outlet
a refuge

As long as my eyes are closed
you are not there
Your eyes destroy this
I connect and you . . .
become real
it is lost in that moment
when you become real,
I end up alone

I stop.
and push away
I feel bitter and full of shame
feeling empty
but not emptied.
