Objectification

I feel as if falling in love is a possibility again

I feel as if I could be vulnerable again

I feel as if this all could be, if you thought I was enough

But, you are a man with superficial needs

A man that denies objectification, but objectifies me

You once told me, “you are my stress reliever”

That line could mean so many beautiful things

But, the morning we woke up next to each other

Unattached, physically detached

I recognized that you weren’t emotionally in touch

Then, when I held you, my arms and legs wrapped around your body

In that moment, I understood why I was your stress reliever

Sex

You are a man with superficial needs

Why are you like this

You fooled me into believing I could love a man again

Because, I wanted to love you

But can’t, because then I’d be walking myself into my own heartbreak

I’ll stand back, give you the space and freedom I know we both need

And have you realize, you should’ve held on longer

And that, that is not love
