comments to each of my ex's.

by lily-jean

1. You smelt like cheap aftershave and you smoked a packet a day. I didn't want to hold your hand but you made me. I washed my sheets 3 times after you left but I still couldn't get your stench out of my room. 2. You're probably still my favourite. Our hands fitted perfectly together but you made absolutely no effort to visit and I couldn't deal with that. 3. You were too clingy and at first it was okay but you quickly became a leech and you sucked all of the goodness out of me. 4. Thank you for helping me realise there's more to life than love. You were the greatest thing I never had. 5. You tasted like stale tabacco and when we kissed it wasn't real enough. You were quick to touch my skin but your fingers lingered over my heart. 6. Im sorry for leaving you when you needed me the most. But you had no substance, you were meaningless and I couldn't provide you with a reason to exist. 7. Your touch was like a shot of heroin. I instantly wanted more. I craved you when you weren't near. 8. I hated your tattoo. It was cheap and nasty and didn't represent you very well. You were weak and you drunk gin like it was water and your mother made the best apple pie I ever tasted. 9. I would of married you. But you were too competitive. I didn't want to spend my entire life chasing you around the house because you were scared to sit still incase you put on more weight than me. 10. You were like the snow. Ice cold, but sometimes you melted and you were a complete fucking mess.
