This has been going on too many times.
You needed someone to make you feel whole. And I, who unconditionally loves you, gives you my body without any hesitation.
Every time I feel your skin in mine, the heat emanates from our bodies, but your warmth isn’t there.
Our lips touch, our skins press against each other, but the feeling is in our own bodies, me receiving all of you, but you unloading your weight of the world on me.
This morning, I choose to stop.
I’ll wake up silently, pick up my clothes from the floor, walk out of the room, your apartment, and never look back.
I’m taking back the power I gave you, which you never felt in the first place because you were so sunk in your own madness.
I’ve invested too much of my emotions and energy on you even if my presence is a mere object for the void your body wants to fill.
This is the morning after, and I’m going to give myself the love you didn’t feel while holding me in your arms.
I will give up fighting for you, and it would be the best thing for the both of us.
