The saddest words?
You are gone.

The saddest words?
You left me.

The saddest words?
I am alone.

The saddest words.
I don't care.

There are many times:
Three thirty, noon, and so on
all of them, I'm alone

(Inspired by William Carlos Williams' This Is Just To Say)

This is just to say
*******, and your pink toothbrush.
No one has ever believed that
It belongs to my male roommate.
I dropped it in the toilet a week ago,
I am sorry about that,
Please throw it away.

I awake next to the fair haired maiden.
The princess already rescued,
Having beaten off all the big bads.
Now I have come to see
Why the story always ends
With the storybook rescue
And not the ever-after.
I knew you as an image,
A heavenly body beyond reach.
Now I have you.
I dreamed of us running
Towards each other
Open armed
I loved you.
Too bad I will **** you.
Not with sharpened blade,
But with pointed tongue.
Worming my doubts into your head.
Forcing you to hate yourself,
But to always love me.
Till the day you’ll break,
And run from this world.
Convinced you are not worthy;
Knowing you’ll never find someone better.
Constant nagging with your voice,
But always my words.
When I reached the goal,
I no longer wanted the prize.
A trophy wife,
But not first place.
For now, I lie here next to you.
I brush your hair from your ear,
And lean in.
“I love you”
I whisper.
And what’s worse, I mean it.
