Should I Make Myself Available? A Poem


He needs me
To get over
Someone else
Should I make
Myself available?

He needs my touch
He accepts my kisses
Not sure he really cares
Who is giving them.

He needs to hear
My moans
Indicating I am experiencing
Pleasure at his hands.
I oblige simply
Because I am .
He still is giving.
Even though my face
Could disappear.

When he is done
When he is gone
It's safe to say
I will feel hollow.

But if he calls tomorrow
Should I again
Make myself available?
We won't talk about
The person he is trying
To forget
At least not then
At least not yet.
It's really what
I am willing to accept.
I guess a part
Is better than nothing.

I know I am not
Endearing myself to him.
I am just someone
He is using
For the interim.

I will let him know
I know the score.
I will let him know
I understand my role.
But I will only do it
Until someone more<b> worthy
</font></b>Comes along.
Or else I am found
To be better than
The woman who came before.
Guess which outcome
I would prefer?

Thank you for your comment. I appreciate your honesty. I didn't want to use the word rebound. LoL. It does sound like that. This is not a current situation but one I am anticipating. It's very complicated to say the least.

The phrase Carpe diem was popularised by the film Dead Poets' Society. Carpe diem is sound advice in a world of uncertainty. Comfort snatched is still comfort, kindness given and received is never wasted. Never undervalue what you bring to a relationship - being undervalued is every reason to end one, so know your own worth and what you bring to the party.

Thank you for your comment. I really appreciate your outlook. This only told a possible story. It's not reality yet. It may never be. I know I can seem selfish. I am not sure I am strong enough to deal with this situation.

Isn't this a question
more about one's
self respect?
If this is something
you're willing to accept.
Healing is a noble cause.
Over time is the best
way to tell and if it's
not taken you may
find yourself needing
some healing as well!

Using more than all the road!

It's a difficult one, a journey I have been on, on more occasions than I care to admit.
I think you should trust your gut instinct, if you don't think you can handle it, then you shouldn't do it.
However, I have held out for the "knight in shining armour", and he hasn't come....soooo does one settle for being 2nd best and accept one's lot, (and the heartache that will inevitably come with it) or settle for 2nd best for the time being and keep looking.... at least it's company, and a form of intimacy. or wait and die of old age with a load of cats

Humans are really selfish when intimacy is involved. "This is my intimacy, you can't have any of this intimacy".

People are intimate for selfish reasons. When the person they are receiving intimacy from , gives intimacy to another, this is seen as betrayal. Isn't that funny?

Why is that a , "Betrayal"? I am not sure, but as I've gotten older, this - you touched someone else intimately - has become about as funny as a Seinfeld skit.

Humans, from birth, thrive on "Touch". "Touch" has a healing quality. Makes us feel good. Feel healthier. Be healthier. Why does only one person have to give you intimacy, and you have to "Get over" the last person to give you intimacy?

What's the wisdom in having only one source of intimacy? As you said, when a source goes away, you're left hollow [feeling not well]. So this is your fault for putting all your eggs in one basket, so to say.

Why does he have to forget the other person? He really doesn't. What social nonsense fairytale has informed him [or you] he must forget? That's stupid.

Usually to enjoy tomorrow, you enjoy the moment right now. All our tomorrows will contain a memory of first adult intimacy. We just don't forget that, and we should not be expected to forget any moments of intimacy from anyone, there after, as long as you live.

Stop being selfish. Enjoy your moments. Tell him he should never feel he has to forget those women before you. As you should never feel you need to forget those men before him.
