Dear Man
I gave in to you. I lacked the things
you needed the most. Your sweetness was wasted just to run and
hide, seeking nothing but loneliness. Your heart filled up the milky way, but we were traveling in parallel
universes. Never once did you look at me like you did at that far away
distance. The tolerance you had for the bottle surpassed all that you had for
my kindness. Did you ever wake up feeling like you needed somebody? Were you
ever afraid?
I cling to songs that make me think of
the nights where smoke drifted softly against my hair from your brilliant
mouth. Does it feel better where you are? Do those people in your stories
measure up to reality that you could not stand to be around?
Am I selfish to love a man who has not
love to give but love to steal. Why, you devils Robin Hood – poaching the
hearts of those rich in love, only to feed your poor soul. You are too far gone
now. Your rusty beard indicates your nonchalant approach at maintaining
awareness. Your sunken eyes are kept afloat by the bags that lay underneath them. They tear holes through
passerby strangers as to get a better look at the emptiness that lays beyond
the tightened skin that once supported a man worthy of knighthood.
With tainted love,
Girl
