No, and Yes

Tonguing the roof of my mouth,
I see you for who you are:
surrogate to my self-sabotage,
the one on whom my blame rests.
We cry, we fight.  All days
blend into one, a stream downhill.
Change the channel, take off that dress,
you say, and lock the door already.
And I will, always.  While thinking:
You are but a symptom of my happiness,
nothing more
—yet still, I am glad.
