Damaged Goods

They'll ask if I'm Gay, I'll say
I don't stick so much to labels,
rather be branded to a Lover
that I'd just love to love
some, as one,
every day.

So promise me potential Love,
that you'll stay regardless
of the sense
or the cents I don't make.

We'll stick around to accumulate.

Love me because you want to,
not because I want you.
Love me because you want to,
not because you have,
not because you need to.

& all those times I'm feeling far,
far too sorry for myself
to feel anything beyond--

I am still yet sorry
for wrong doings been done.

& it's okay, welcomed even,
to have been there,
done that.

Never gone.
Never done.

Just because I'm familiar with your actions
doesn't mean I'll understand them.

& if to ever appreciate my reactions, I am aware
never means I'm forgiven.

Remember in patience, every time
we love just to spare warm feelings,
feelings go cold.
Untouched. Disposed.

Not forgotten.
Just somewhat overlooked.
Partially unloved.
 
Reconsider it hurts me no more
every time I break. Stales us no more
beyond our expiration date.

We will still be sold.
