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.
