I Make Love to Myself (Reposted)
I make love to myself, guaranteed not to disappoint
because I refuse to settle for mediocrity
at this juncture in my life, at this point
any thing else would be an hypocrisy.
I make love to myself, in lieu of a lover in my bower
fantasizing as the clock tics away the hours,
this has become common place
a multitude of pillows beside me, occupy the empty space.
I make love to myself, to appease the need
yet the heart continues yearning for that which it does not receive.
How do I satiate the hunger, cool the fire within
when the void cannot be filled with
a casual encounter, that ends as quickly as it begins.
I make love to myself and, still, the hollowness remains
even though the sex would thrill,
it is love that sustains;
nothing else can this echoing hole fill.
I make love to myself, time after time,
but what I truly desire is a friend and lover
whom I could wake up next to, knowing he is mine
over and above all others.
If I should go into the endless night alone,
It was because no one loved me enough to make me his own.
