From Lady Lazarus ~Sylvia Plath
Dying
Is an art, like everything else.
I do it exceptionally well.
I do it so it feels like hell.
I do it so it feels real.
I guess you could say I've a call.
It's easy enough to do it in a cell.
It's easy enough to do it and stay put.
It's the theatrical
Comeback in broad day
To the same place, the same face, the same brute
Amused shout:
'A miracle!'
That knocks me out.
There is a charge
For the eyeing of my scars, there is a charge
For the hearing of my heart—
It really goes.
And there is a charge, a very large charge
For a word or a touch
Or a bit of blood
Or a piece of my hair or my clothes.
So, so, Herr Doktor.
So, Herr Enemy.
I am your opus,
I am your valuable,
The pure gold baby

Make them know that your love isn't free and it's not unconditional.

@Lostpoet I don’t care anymore. I want my love to be free and unconditional and for someone to love me back similarly otherwise I don’t care. I can’t tell people, nobody cares. They’ll just leave. And that’s not really my style. I’d rather just seclude myself and force it to be over:
