I remember we hit it off.

 

 like a couple of youngsters,

 teenagers in season

      with the “I like you” and “I like you too” 

      a cacophony of blissful bullshit

      The product of one date.

      o n e .

 

Because you smiled 

you said you liked my eyes 

and held my hand 

                                and my waist 

I remember you smelled like cologne.

                                it was nice

I remember you hugged me.

                                it was nice

                     I remember you said I was warm      

                     and bright and artistic and 

                     beautiful and tall and wonderful 

                     and sweet and you bought me 

                     chocolate and jewellery and art 

                     and food and jokes and

 

 

I remember a lot of things about you. 

 

 

You took me places when you had no chariot. 

I was the horse, the driver, and yet

y               o                u       .

                                                      held the reins.

 

you wanted me happy and bright

like when you first saw me 

                                    or      s       a       w      me.

 

 

                              I know you kept that picture. 

 

                                                 don’t lie, you did. 

 

because I remember you there 

when we turned the lights off 

     and were supposed to be playing 

     the Wii U 

the Wii U, like a couple of kids

    a couple of 

        teenagers 

            in 

               season 

 

and yet I laid down.

 

I went down and you were there too  

you remembered 

and I remembered 

                                   I know your face was there

                                                 don’t lie, you were. 

 

because your hands were on my rib cage 

your hands were crushing me rib cage 

and the bird inside with it 

 

the bones creaked and the bird went silent 

and your mouth was on mine 

your tongue on my gums, sucking my teeth, biting my lips, tongue in tongue, breathing ash and plague and cologne down my throat and I felt myself going I felt myself floating I felt myself  c r y i n g  because I didn’t say yes 

but I didn’t 

 

                             say

 

 

 

                                                      no. 

 

 

After, you left

After, I showered 

After, I lied 

 

After, I brushed my teeth.
