MUSSELS IN MY ROOM
Ana I'm so sorry, for how I did you wrong
but then again you started it
I tried to get out
but you weren't having it
You said you were persuasive
Well wasn’t that the truth
made me mussels after we broke up
had us eat them in my room
And tried to fuck
Later you were sorry
Your last night in town
We lay in your bed and watched TV,
even though it was over,
you wanted your whole last night with me.
I have to say I was touched.
And I let you kiss me to say goodbye
Cuz you asked, and then you flew away
Into the sky
And I missed you-
On the warm days that made my body feel
Like the days when we first met
When we chatted on the porch
And you set your sights on me
The queer girl next door
Proximal and gay(ish)
That’s all I had to be
Sure knew how to make a girl feel wanted
Then again I didn’t either
You bought me flowers and gave them sheepishly
Expressing your heart--with an asterisk
No one had ever given me flowers before though.
So I kept the petals even as they dried
and you saw them later and said
"what the heck are those"
I didn't tell you
I brought you to thanksgiving like a college orphan
and nobody suspected
Why would they I guess
you were just my “friend”
I broke your heart you said
But two months later you had me on the phone
Telling me the next one
she was the best you ever had
Fuck that!
But it’s okay though
I kind of deserved it
We both fulfilled our roles
Each becoming what the other feared most
And now we talk on the phone
Though the frequency dwindles
and I don’t think you even know
that I’m dating a boy
haven't mentioned that one...
I don’t know who you’re with
But I hope that she loves you fiercely
And I hope that you are fulfilled
With challenge and ease
tho we fucked each other up a bit
my dear Analisse
