Pretty Boy calls my body “Hourglass”
Funny, I’m not the one wasting my time.
(He got some things right, though. My body is not soft. My body is not fruit. My body is hard. My body takes its time.)
Pretty Boy wants a grain of sand; doesn’t care that he has to break the whole thing to get it.
While he’s at it, Pretty Boy takes more than he originally intended. Takes more than he was offered.
He Takes
and takes
and takes
and doesn’t give a ****
He broke that too.
Now I’m all washed up in this lake of glass.
Well, it’s a good thing he likes long walks on the beach.
Or ***** as he calls it
“it,” of course, being me.
Pretty Boy knows exactly what not to say
to get me to sleep with him
Pretty Boy is confused
wants to know why I 'do not like' him.
Now I could tell Pretty Boy:
A. that I like girls
B. that I’m seeing someone
C. that I’m just not interested.
D. that I —-
But this is not multiple choice.
This is extended response.
One where I repeat the same thing
over
and over
and over
to all the Pretty Boys.
