Carelessness

by maria-cordero

I. Summer began when you appeared Friday night and too many Coronas You took over my body on her couch I knew it was bad – but I was had My stupid-drunken-self stumbled home And your arm was around my waist In twenty minutes you convinced me In twenty minutes you unraveled me In twenty minutes you ravished me For that month you hardly left the bed I could smell you hours later And welcomed it back every time II. We fucked You rambled You left I cried (My friends hate you) You came back It happened once again (but I drank the rest of your wine) The Month was over III. Too much cheap rum Too much cheap tequila Too much cheap beer I danced in a cage A Pink Lady called at 1am Aladdin answered Or was it Genie? IV. Beauty and delight, talking to you Beauty and delight, fucking you I want to love you, but the idea is far better You’re the worst kind Completely right in every way Completely wrong in every way I can handle it, I swear You just need to shut up V. The smell of your skin lingering The silk of your hair tingling It’s all I feel walking home Such a shame, the two of us
