All this time I’d fooled myself
into knowing what it felt like
Believing I’d tasted the nectar
when all I’d really experienced
was a sip of sweetness
Soured by anger,
Tainted by jealousy
How long I’ve waited for this new life,
for this sparkling feeling
The security and safety
of a genuine man
with no mask,
no cross to bear
or pyre to set me alight upon
I feel drunk with happiness
