For You..,No! For The Other
Maybe it's greed, but...
I get to experience you and the other in the fullest of ways
You slit my skin, the other blows on the wounds
You rip off bandaids, the other kisses my scars
I thrive off of the attention, let me dress down the frigid mask and bask in the delight
You are good for my alter ego, the other cuddles my skeletons
The other feels smug when I cross off at least one thing on my to do list, while you insist I could do better
Well, I must be a scale, you and the other must be weights that balance me out
For You, because I love you...but then For The Other because I don't love them any less
Point is my experiencing you doesn't cancel out the necessity of experiencing the other and that's what makes it all worth it.
