I wore my black
black wrap dress
new bra and a lace thong
I had my hair washed,
smelled good, ready
for the main show
met you outside
couldn’t wait
the only place
we’ve ever met
is parking lots
and now
I have you on the couch
and take your hand,
it’s on my breast,
I lean in to kiss
in my head
i hear the bang and
see the flash of
fireworks, magic,
it’s magic when
you kiss someone you love
so I’ll sit on your lap
and kiss you ’til
we can’t breathe
and when I’m feeling wet… Read the rest
When you wake up
in the morning, do you
jump right out of bed
now that you don’t
feel obligated to stay
a few minutes
just to hold me?
When you hop
down the stairs
and get your first
hot little cup of coffee,
are you still humming and
singing your morning song?
Do you keep yourself busy,
are you still always pacing
around in circles, especially
now that you’re in a home
you can walk circles around?
Have you spent much
time at home
since you left here?
Do you sleep under
your old roof with your
old wife … Read the rest
not now, but soon,
I’m going to want to
go looking for my
next victim love
not yet, but soon
I’ll start caring
about how I look
again, even though
I don’t want it to matter
soon I’ll try on that
look of the confident
but available woman
the “I don’t need you, but
you’re gonna hope I want you,”
sort of look
and I’ll strut around
considering all of you
wondering specifically
how exactly will you hurt me?
what will you do that
will eventually break my heart?
one day, one day
maybe even soon,
I’ll be … Read the rest
we didn’t plan on
constant conversation
that never came
to an end
until now
and I don’t
know about you
but I planned
on loving you
for the rest
of our lives
too bad i
didn’t look
far enough ahead
to see that even if
we tore down
the fences
the walls
will remain
too long
for us
to have forever
this isn’t
what I expected
for us
and I must
apologize if you
feel I ever tried
to lead you astray
I swear I would
have loved you
until your last day
Inspired by the Writer’s Write October prompts … Read the rest
the first night
we spent in a hotel together
did not go as planned
the room was not
the one we pictured and dreamed of
the view was not as good as we’d hoped,
a music festival blared through
the closed windows
I was never able to shake
the nerves that gripped me
from the very start
you didn’t want to go out
you didn’t want to do anything
we just laid in bed together
and watched Ford vs. Ferrari
while I hoped you weren’t
thinking the whole time
what I know to be true in my soul
that I’d … Read the rest
