maybe i wanted him to abuse me
so i could prove to myself that the thoughts and wishes that i imagined he had were against my will and therefore not my fault. maybe i wanted him to protect me, to say that he refused to hurt me, even if i acted like i wanted it. maybe i wanted him to refrain from any further closeness than we had; and for him to tell me specifically that he did this to protect me from myself and from him, because he cared about me in appropriate ways. maybe i needed both elements- safe and unsafe as a testingn ground for trusting myself, and men. whatever the need, i feel unfulfilled all these years later still. and i wish he would've said goodbye in the end.

What connections can you draw between the feelings in this poem and your experience in therapy? There is a lot there, I think.
