tiptoeing

At least I warmed your feet.

At least you've sipped my tea.

At least you were sincere.

At least you've made yourself clear.

"Lacking self-love", he cried.

Accepting crumbs.

Only to feel belonging,

only to be alive.

I've stabbilished statutes,

for future relationships.

I won't allow podiums.

I won't be a runner up.
