The Only Way to Love You..as far as I know  

I don’t think about it….
Willingly look away
When you are slobbering down your chin
And have orange or red sauce,
(Cheetos or marinara?)
Staining the skin around your lips
Jelly smeared on your shirt,
(Or is that ice cream?).    
I avoid your eyes,
Dishwater dull….
Like looking into the eyes of a dead man
And I’ve seen a dead man or two,
Plastic horror.
I can love you
And I can hate you
And today I hate you.

Tomorrow
I can love you again
When your eyes clear
And your skin loses its sallow pallor
I’ll lovingly entwine your fingers into mine
And we’ll pretend together
That this never happened.
