Sex to feel, not to think:
to numb,
to escape.

It’s all you’re good for.

Praise and degrade,
a body to use,
not to love,
it’s the only way that you can let yourself believe that someone would actually want you.

And even though it hurts to believe that you are not worthy of anything more,
you’ll take it
because
without that belief, what have you got?

Nothing.

You have,
you are,
nothing.

And when you have to believe
in something
to stop yourself from wanting to end
everything,
‘you’ll get what you’re given’,
same time next week?
