Too Much, Fool

By manunkind

I am attracted to you, you toad.
I want you more when you’re sick.
When you cough
When you snore in your sleep
I’m hottest for you when you’re talking to other girls
When they laugh at your jokes
When you go to them, drunk

I like you too much, you rat.
Too much.
I like you too much when you take the larger piece
When you take the last one
Or never offer me any at all
I like you more when you don’t call me
When you’re late
When you forget
I like you the most when your back is turned
When you pat me on the head, but won’t kiss me
I like you better yet, when you are two steps ahead and do not wait for me
Do not think of me
Indifferent,
as I run to catch up

I love you, you mongrel.
You self involved scoundrel.
I love our awkward silences, SPEAK.
Let the silence take me
cradle me like a child
I love these questions, what are you thinking? THINK!
Let your one worded answers bite my lips
puncture my flesh


I love your body, your hair, your smell, fingers
Touch me fool
The weight of nothing
The lurid taste of nothing
The musky hot smell of timeless time

I love you too much, you shadow lover
I love your crouched form
Your self consciousness
Your dark world
I love it more
because I cant Own
or predict
your affection

you tell me
you like to grab my flesh
GRAB IT!
You like to stroke my cheeks
STROKE THEM!
“I love you so much”
THEN LOVE ME
Love me as much as you love me
Love me and make me feel it
Like I feel you feeling it

Silly, silly men. Silly love.
Silly attraction
Sweet words
Sweet reaction to my lips
When they touch
Sick rush
Sick rejections
When I love you too much.

    this was reasonably rivetting -- which is a lot coming from me. I very much enjoy neglect, and even misuse, myself.
