DEAREST DORIAN 

“But adoring someone is 
certainly better than being 
adored.”—Oscar Wilde
____________

Being adored, my dear—
is simply an annoying nuisance
you’ll find that out over time

You'll discover, Dorian—
that lovers treat us just as 
humanity treats its gods
________

They worship us and keep—
bothering us to do something 
for them, money, etc.

The tricks who’ve admired me—
and there have been some, have always 
insisted on living long after I've ceased 
___________

They care only for themselves—
but then what can I say, isn’t that
what makes them so charming?

Young male lovers totally into—
themselves and their youthful life
isn’t that what we need to know?
