a measured, brutally observant deconstruction of masculinity

I never thought I would die and come back;
every time you double-cross my mind,
I want to replace you.
a primer on how to love and understand happens,
no matter where they fall.
they are dominoes.
everything and nothing is you.
I read of love I don't know.
I think I wanted to prove you could be loved.
Now I wonder:
did I love you or am I just a sore loser?
I compare everything to you;
you're the only one that still strikes an emotion
in me.
haunting me still.
