This is it, then. After so many nights spent trying to force my dreams to obey my commands, I am finally the loser. No bell is needed to tell me that the fight is over. I have lost, and you, by default, have won. Smile. Smoke a cigarette. Drink with your friends. Celebrate in whatever fashion suits you. You have won. That I have lost yet another fight is nothing new; years of many losses have trained me to accept defeat. That this is but one fight in many is also something I accept. But for all that I have lost, you have lost much more. What once was a man you considered a brother is now a distant figure glimpsed briefly in the swirling sheets of rain that fall from within the clouds of a hurricane. And I know you will not acknowledge the truth of it. As always, you will continue to chase Love, seeking its warmth within the arms of whichever smiling set of lips has the best Listerine coverage on his beer breath.. You will continue to fuck them, and they will never cease to fuck your body. They will use your cunt for the cum dump that is most easily reached in their drunken state. They will spew the words that you want to hear so long as their stomachs can hold the Jack Daniels. And you will drop them, seeing that they do not offer what you desire... and seek another in the same place which spawned him. I? I will do as I have always done: survive. Another year without a woman is nothing to me.. I survived five years without the touch of a woman's hand on my chest as I kissed her lips. What is one more? Several more? An eternity? Nothing. They are nothing. I will be that thing which is shown in freak shows and carnivals. I will survive. Do I love you? If love is caring, then yes. If love is knowing someone's smile, warm and bright on the darkest and coldest of Winter nights, then no. If Love is feeling good whenever someone cares for you, then no. If love is knowing the pleasures of the flesh with someone whom you would gladly sacrifice your soul for, then no. So then... do I love you? I leave that to those with enough time on their slips of paper or slots in a database. When I see our bodies together, and I make the image change into that of two bodies pleasuring each other, there is always something missing. Like the other side of the coin. You. Your caring. That which truly makes you human. I am there, raw and naked both in body and soul. You... are nothing more than a body. Not cold... not warm... just a body. You do as your cunt desires. You suck dick as you see fit. When you touch me here or there, it is because of some twisted notion that I need to be touched here or there. Where is the Woman? Where is the Human? Does it exist? Did it ever? I could blame it on the cards which Life dealt you, but that would not be fair or just. To you. To Life. To myself. When you feel one cock after the next slide through the gateway to your lust, do you even care? I do not mean that you make them wear a condom... DO YOU CARE? Do you worry about the future which you may well bear into this world? Do you care? Do you think about the Man? Does he matter? Even a street walker cares for something: the next fix... their own safety. What do you care about? Number One? I find that hard to believe; If you did then why do you constantly reach for love, knowing your hand will get cut on the jagged rocks you climb? When I rest, letting the night claim me for what may be the last time, and I see your face... Pain does not begin to describe what I feel. Even when I penetrate your rear, sliding my manhood into your nether Hole, I hear nothing. Not a sigh... not a whimper... not a groan... not a yell. Nothing. Fast. Slow. It doesn't matter; I hear nothing. What do you feel? Do you feel the invader inside of you, or have there been so many that one more is but one more? I see your hips move, but is that because you hate what I am doing, like it, love it beyond all comprehension? Or is it just something you do... like breathing. What about when I feast on your sex? Do you even care that someone has taken the time to worship, even if but for a moment, your center? Am I just one more tongue... another to pay lip service? WHAT AM I TO YOU THEN! Lick. Slurp. Suck. Are these words used by artist drawing explicit cartoons? Do you hear them? Do you feel them? Do you caress my head in passion, or because I am some sick pup which needs to be reassured of its master's love. I have lost, and that is fact. Truth. it may be denied. It can even be forgotten. But it is, which is more than I can say for you. So drink and be merry. Fuck one more dick... several more. It does not matter. I know not what Fate has in store for you, but know this: When you reach out for my hand, it will not be there. When you look for my face, you will only see nothing. When you cry out my name, I will not be able to hear you. I have lost much. My honor. My soul. My Humanity. These and many more... past and future... will I lose. Yet I will survive. You may shed one tear, but I will not be there to see it. When that dick spills its seed on your belly or face or inside your cunt, I will not know it. I will survive. So celebrate. You have won.
