of all the women I’ve ever been

For now, you are unknown to me again, I only know the last seven years of you, and the silhouette of your cut jawline You asked for this, not me. I'll never leave you, unless you plan to leave, then I'll leave you first, but-- I'll always tuck you in at night, and there will be no one else who'd recite your nighttime prayers right

— Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

How I wrote about you since I was in my teens, manifesting a human like you, whether man, woman, soul-- you came, and you refused to let me refuse you-- for years .. Because you knew--you always knew Well, you doubt now, because you’re tired not just of me, of it all your body is tired I know, you’re tired If I could give you a bit of me, for a bit of reprieve a moment to We are tired,  and I will never give up You are my --end of time-- Sleep, my love; I’ll wake you at 7:20.
