My lows are much too long and languid to risk laying upon a lover.
And my highs? They are not quite high enough to justify all the time I spend helplessly dragging them down, so,
I will not have another. Because I can't stand the thought of draining people the way that I drain myself --
Because, In the end, the happy times I give are not worth
the myriad of somber nights still yet to come --
V. Rue, 2024.
