You don't love me at all? O God. O Shit. <br />You still 'respect me.' Thanks. I value it <br />About as much as one who's asked to use <br />A second hat when he's in need of shoes. <br />Since, I discover, my own self-respect <br />Is quite enough to keep my spine erect <br />Why is it true my ample self-affection <br />Will not suffice to buoy me in rejection?<br /><br />Vikram Seth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/octet/
