Today he said
the sweetest thing.

He said to let you go
because you’re not worth it

He said I ****** your world up
and made you go crazy

He said the reason
is because you know
you won't ever
find someone
like me

He said
that’s the truth
and I believe him
because

I remember
when I made him go
crazy
like you are now
and I ****** his world up
and he’s never be able
to find someone
who makes his world
brighter
more catastrophic
and beautiful

than me.

But such is a great story,
of two friends
who fell in love
with ideas
inspired by tequila
wrapped around the pleasures of the naked body

I wondered why this had never happened before?

You showed me your world
in your favorite beer
as I tried to show you
mine
in cards

but your world was better
more fun
adventurous
and blurry
so I let you grab me
and kiss me
and bring me to my bed
to share my world

It was a whirlwind romance
4 hours, tops.
I wouldn’t add or subtract
any time
you made me feel
like love was fun
silly
and perfect

and our story wouldn’t be so brilliant
if you were still here
you gave me one night
of the sweetest medicine
and now you’re off
enjoying other pleasures
with other women
in other lands
and all I can say is

thank you.

I really liked your authentic phở
and that’s the only thing I’ll miss
I want to be able to say it politely
while we're still at the table
so I’ll excuse myself to say
*******
and your salty ways

It sickens me,
your relationship
with him
and me
and how you got in between
our fake love
and thank god for you
because we needed an excuse to stop *******

But,
His body
is so delicious
and his skin
is so soft
and his lips
are my dessert
and perhaps
these are the only things
that you did right
for his life

I want to tell him
how I’ve found something new
and thank god
they can taste me
unlike you ever could.

I think I love you
from my core
but my fire
burns for the wood
of a thousand other men

I say it so politely

*******

for being a sheep

when I thought you were a lion

I tried to love you

but I didn’t

and now I never will

and the only thing I’m sorry for is saying it

I wish you would stop moaning

long enough to realize

love is a game

and I win.
