the love
that never fully returned me
Thank you to the boys I kept returning to
when no one fully loved me
Thank you to those who took only what they wanted
making more valuable
everything that remain
Thank you to everyone who hollowed me out
broke my pneuma, bruised my casing
You allowed me to grow back
stronger
in finer fettle
Thank you to the men who noticed me
hating myself
just long enough for me to notice them
Thank you to the men who
never noticed me
Thank you to those who pleaded for second and third chances
gently reminding me
that to lose me is a tragedy
and I was losing myself
every second and third chance I dispensed
Thank you
Thank you for losing me
Thank you for leaving me
Leaving me
Just the way I am
So he could find me
Just the way I am
So he could love me
Just the way he does
