The Second poem from my chapbook "As Glamorous as a Kidney"
My lady and I split a week ago.
It was mutual.
We even kissed goodbye and
Hugged each other tightly.
{
At first it was okay.
I felt fine knowing we were
Still on good terms and she
Was spreading her wings to grow.
That, and with the confidence she
Gave me I figured there will be
New pussy to make moist and plenty
More time to post up and write
Some new shit.
{
But after a few days it started
To hit me.
I started to reflect on the times
We shared and how we’d phone and
Text.
{
I then started to feel guilty
(As I had before) about the
Times I was an asshole, my
Depressive attitude, my
Behavior when I got drunk and
Snappy and of course some of the
Things I said which made her feel
Sad.
I’d also remember how she could
Be a random bitch and how sometimes
It seemed she wasn’t paying attention.
I’d recall her passive-aggressiveness
As well.
{
In some moments of thought this
Break-up felt like a blessing.
In others it didn’t seem right and
I should’ve taken a different stance.
{
Love be damned.
I miss her.
Love be damned.
My emotions are mixed like oil
Swirling in water.
{
Love be damned.
{
Love be blessed too
