Keep the heart, return the clit
You came back for me
just as I was moving
on with meaningless
sex, and learning
how to drink
like an old broken bitch
with nothing left to feel
and you walked right the fuck
up to me with your bright shining
ideals, and gave me the
lets-be-friends-handshake
with the dangerous gleam
in your eyes
that reminded me
I'll never
get
over
you.
And that you never fucking loved me
Fine.
Just, fine. Whatever.
I wasted my tears on you,
and I wasted some fucking
great poetry on you
and I never felt so hard,
or came so hard,
or wanted so hard,
just to touch you,
just to...
And the day you left,
the way you left,
the gentle way you told me
you wanted to cry, too,
and that you hated this...
(because you're honestly a good fucking person,
and I'm... I'm honestly not.)
that you hated this...
it was like you steeped me in Novocain,
stripped me down to nothing,
and left me a shivering wreck,
alone with no way to remember feeling.
And slowly the numbness is wearing low
and I can think,
I can feel...
I can want...
but I still can't come without
seeing your eyes bore into mine.
