comfort

 how comforting it is to know

there are parts of me you never bothered to uncover

those are the places to which i return 

when my ego starts to miss the boost you gave it 

the parts i forged with my own hands 

over years of rumination 

parts i would’ve let you peer into 

had you been bothered to ask 

instead you got what you needed from me

proof that you were worthy of my desires 

and off you went

satisfied with that 

until the next time you’re lonely
