Kissing Him

Kissing him was like sweeping the floor, there was nothing special to it, no sparks or fireworks, no tingles in my tummy. Just something that felt like a chore, and I must admit I never really did like doing chores, but I knew I had to do them, but this this was different I didn't have to do anything. But it was so much easier than being gay, and so I pretended to love him, and in the process I hurt him and all because I was too selfish too come out-
too afraid.

And now he's all broken and doesn't trust anyone, and it all began with me not trusting anyone to accept me.
