Ex hiding secrets

my presence sets off alarms

“friends” oblivious

He smiles at their faces

pretending he’s not cruel

texts reveal his truth

He calls them pretty

says lack personality

unless there is booze

One he calls ugly

she invites attractive ones

she’s useful to him

I type, pause, consider

sending screenshots to them

fury in my hands

Tina D. Lopez

Finally realizing I need to start acting like the main character in my own life. Writing helps me figure out where I keep losing the plot and giving away my spotlight. My story is a big mix of drama, comedy, tragedy, thriller, and, horror.
