the heart condom

are you drawn to rescue?
do you find damaged individuals, totally unreasonable, yet almost reachable to be utterly beautiful?
do you feel an obligation to shower affection onto people who just don't like themselves as much as you wish they did?
do you try in vain to spread bandaids over other's self-inflicted injuries, only to grieve as you percieve your love funnelling into the black hole of someone else's emptiness?
do you ever wish that people could come with warning
labels -
DANGER: this person is talented, charming, brilliant,
relentlessly self-destructive, and a perpetual victim...best not to invest too heavily in this person's wholeness.

well, if you've answered yes to any of these questions
we've got good news fo ryou!
wearing a new trojan heart condom, you can interact
confidently without rupturing an aorta in empathy!
comfortable, dependable latex controls that saviour
complex as the non-permeable membrane keeps guilt
away!
comes in five sizes: small, medium, large, larger
and Swoolen Bleeding Martyr!

especially recommended for adult children of alchoholics.

Do these have the same success/failure rate as their predecessors?
