The last time I cared about what others thought of me

I've forgotten

••

The last time I thought about what I think of others

I remember

For I want to remind myself to ONLY LOVE

••
••

I keep reading LOVE POEMS addressed to the LOVER

And NOT the READER
(in this case----ME)

••

It is NOT SURPRISING

That most of these poems end in expressions of
hatred for the supposed lover
&
Intimations of self mutilation

••

You tell ME of this without truly addressing me!



This is like the Poem itself

Which is made WITHOUT TRULY ADDRESSING HIM!

••

Why do you write

"I love YOU"

When talking to me?

••

WE

are your resources

(Your friends!)

WE

Have done you NO HARM!

••

Perhaps you should

TALK TO US

Directly

••

It would allow yourself to be seen and understood more clearly

••

The more clearly LOVE is expressed

The less the children of the world will suffer
