Night. All over his body. Lithium lingers on the tongue. Slow motion crawl into bed, nothing for dinner except sleep. His gaze. Colder than the chill of a refrigerator. He tells me he’d rather die than **** me tonight. Grabbing the fat that clings under my chin, he tells me, “Once I learn to love myself, I promise I’ll love you next.”
