Making Do with What One Has

Artwork: The Fairy Queen - Wolfe von Lenkiewicz, 2009

hate me

to the very

core

of your

being;

act like

i'm not there:

i'd rather

feel your

hatred;

it's a

better

deal than

indifference -

at least

you

acknowledge

the fact

that i

exist.

i ache,

i weep,

i yearn -

to no

avail.

but

i know

you live

and breathe;

you're well.

and i

am

strangely

comforted.

that's all

i can

say

for now.
