Ode to everyone’s Fuckboi

I know....
It’s a dead cat
In the middle of the room.

You never lied
Never tried
To poison my heart with
Useless emotion

You told me once
“.....I do not reciprocate
............your feelings, dear”

My inconsolable love for you.

Your words were
Stone
Heavy and hard
And I took them in
And I made myself
Understand

But how...
Did you
Still smolder
With feeling?
I saw it in your eyes
Once or twice
And in
The way you
Gripped my body,

Look-
I see it. I do.  
It’s in the middle of the room....
The dead cat
Who’s eyes won’t open
And who’s mouth is forever
Sealed.
