Do I masturbate,

before I fall in love

with my non-existent

lover which completes my life?

Do I masturbate,

to the fantasy

of falling deeply in love

with that single one other person?

Do I masturbate,

while listening to the music which saddens me

because of the eternal lack

of a significant other?

Do I masturbate,

to the playboys plastered in my mind

while contemplating my age

before I’ll meet the lover of my dreams?

Do I masturbate,

myself to sleep,

with my hand on my heart?
