Dear Diary

I dont like sex 
Yet I have it with you so often 
This is when you caress my body the most
Hold me with such softness 
Like a delicate china that could fall apart with the slightest move
You stare me into my eyes 
And tell me lies
Lies that I eat up 
Make me feel like the most beautiful girl god ever created
Makes me feel so loved 
These are the moments where you cold demander melts away 
Where I get the attention I desire from you 
Without begging on my knees
This is when I feel the lightest 
I close my eyes and let you soft deep whispers become my lullaby 
I run away to the endless field of tulips 
Where its just us
In love with the sun wrapping us in her motherly rays 
But then the last few grunts make their way through my ears
Its over 
You give me one final kiss
I force my eyes open and force the tears to stay at bay 
I look up at you in despair
So desperate can you tell? 
“Promise you love me?” “Promise you feel it again?” 
You look down at me 
Your eyes full of 
Absolutely nothing 
“Yeah baby of course” 
Your mind is everywhere but here
I eat your lies up 
And let this be my sole comfort for the night 
For when I drive home and lay to sleep 
For when I keep the thoughts 
Of you being with her 
At bay 
For when I get asked about you 
I can put on a false smile
And pretend to be okay 
For when I ask myself 
“Is this love?” 
I can answer yes 
And breathe 
For another day 
I dont like sex
Yet I do it with you so often 
For I know these are the moments 
When you love me 
So desperate 
I eat up your lies
