bitter letter remnants

you were wrong.
we're not both grown adults here.

how was i to know i'd get
so aroused from
my hair being pulled?

we probably should not have bothered
beyond that first fuck
over a year ago.
i think being played
the fool
for a year
is long enough.

you get more
and more
erratic.
i never thought
i would get
strangulation bruises
on my neck
before i ever had a hickey.

i had hoped
when i found someone
to explore anal sex
with me,
it would be done with a little
compassion,
discussion,
consideration,
and lube.

i can't decide
if i feel
any more
or less
abnormal
than i did as a
23 year old virgin.
maybe i should just
chalk this all up
to experience
and stop obsessing.

i did wait 23 years
for someone
to come along
that would have
my virginity.

i can wait
a little longer
for someone
willing to kiss me.

im tired of trying live with all this.

its been entirely too strained a year,
lying to my friends
and myself.

thanks for allowing me to
play the whore
with you for so long.
but
i can't take any more
red light green light
unless i know it's building to something
in the end.

i should know,
of all people,
how it feels to be performing
sexual acts
under coercion
and a sense of obligation.

and every morning i've felt like an idiot,
trying to think of what i might have
said or done
that would have smoothed things out,
made them a little clearer.
wasting time and tears and energy.
i should have never bothered.

sorry.
