I made the decision to love you
Not because your actions were deserving
But because loving me properly
Involved too much work,
Requiring an isolation that I was not willing to forego
Due to selfish, adolescent inadequacies
That i held onto for the purpose of continued victimization
So I chose you as a cohabitant in my desperation
To gain some type of clarity
Control over miscarried thoughts
And feelings
conceptualized into flesh and bone
