yes in The Thing

It’s not so much of a break
through
than something of a begrudging acceptance
of a specific failing.
And that
in a way
is the problem.
Solutions are not something I have in my hand. But there is help out there.
The shame and overall dread I feel should not be
the standard reaction to affection. I need to move forward before it’s too late.
I don’t want to lose you, her, them.
