How is it that I long for something I already possess?
I feel an orphan, though I lack not my emotions feel imposter
like those of true loss, my heart aches for more than a shadow moreover, I carry the guilt of this pang with knowledge of those who carry authentic sorrow
I ask the question. Is bruised fruit better than nil? Is bread, molded and crumby, better than none at all?
I know you love me, but do you enjoy me? obligation does not breed true affection. dutiful acceptance falls short I long for a genuine, tangible love
