goddamn you for your adoration
of those truly far greater than me
goddamn you for whoring yourself in all your own brilliance
for a pat on the head or a tug on your leash
goddamn you for the relief you feel
when I leave the room
goddamn you for choking me
with your sincerest pity
goddamn you for your silence
that talks about me behind my back
I know I don't deserve you
I think you do too
goddamn you
