Dear John

Dear John,
I hope this letter finds you well. It’s been a while since I’ve reached out to you. I guess that’s what happens when deception and infidelity replace love and commitment. As you know your actions sparked an inevitable reaction: hate. I became an ugly version of myself but now I’ll assume the role I’ve been trained to play: love’s antagonist. I never wanted to be in a relationship and I never needed to feel loved by a man. I was satisfied with a cold heart and a warm body. I preferred the late-night romance that never made it to the morning; I’d trade hours of conversations for minutes of moaning.

But you tried so hard to claim a heart that was never meant to be yours. Even-though you wronged me, I was never right. It’s unfortunate what I learned from my father: how to spot a cheater. But even worse, how to become a cheater and not get caught. See, what you didn’t see was all the time I had on my hands…

Years before you could break my heart…I broke yours.
Your routine and rotation between me and her made it easier for me….and him.
So now as I live out my karma, it is time for me to give you the gift of yours…

Our last fall-out you told me to go write another poem. I did. This one is dedicated to you:

I fucked your brother—
His dick was better;
He made me wetter
Than you ever could.

Sincerely,
F.U

The Wolf Moon

This January Moon:

It’s the first from the rest…
It craves passion…
It’s hungry for warm hearts…
It yearns for minds to caress…

In the wind you hear its howl…
Its call for souls to undress…
It beams full of dreams…
Left behind from your breath…

It illuminates paths…
Once roads of distress…
It leads to desired destinations…
This moon is unlike the rest…

S & M

The Universe had plans
When you and I were aligned…

For this temporary fix
Has held me captive, to the
Complexities of your design…

Living in the dark for so long
I was accustomed to the night–
It was only natural for me
To gravitate towards your light…

We share the same love for the sky;
I was in awe of your knowledge of the stars–
Hoping one night you’d make your way to me
And sun-kiss my scars…

On a bed of galaxies I became
Slave to your heat–
The Earth shook & tides would rise and fall that night,
Whenever our surfaces would meet…

Now all I can do is wait
For “us” to again, exist–
And feel the warmth of your rays
As we form an eclipse…
