to an unwanted lover

yes, i am your
 1
PARAMOUNT,

your LOVE, your
 3
SUNSPOT and TEASTAIN.
 4
 
 
i spark the sun to rising
 5
and its purple sister night
 6
is my dominion too, yes --
 7
i see what you're saying.
 8
 
 
but i tire of being glorious.
 9
how long can i sustain
 10
your orbit?
 11
this golden lacquer
 12
is slowly cracking.
 13
 
 
don't hate me.
 14
i simply grow wearied
 15
of this responsibility:
 16
am i to suckle each
 17
gaping maw of a boy
 18
that decides his life
 19
was made to worship me?
