I can't remember the last time
I could wake up and believe
I was worth a damn
So, please, explain how
to fill the void
in my heart--
--without resorting to a shameless
one-nighter, who gives a
flying fuck for just...
...half an hour...
Author notes
Interesting prompt. Tried to make it work. Hope you like it. Okay, the poem refers TO sex, but the word fuck isn't used MEANING sex. Just as a measure of self-worth. So I didn't break rule Number Two.

thankyou for writing me a new poem and not breaking my rules!! i like this very much, it has a real sense of sadness and delicacy which reflects the mood of the writer brilliantly (or what i imagine as your mood, i suppose!) and your use of the word fuck flowed really really well. thanks heaps for entering!
