dear r: happy anniversary, again
dear r:
i remember you with
distant eyes and a sweetly
addictive smile. always
a trick up your sleeve and
a circus in your soul but
you were a magician with
your fingertips on my [ ].
you were a jester, often
mistaken for a queen, a
lesson-giver who took [ ]
without warning and who
sang everyone else’s song
just to soothe her own.
the lies you told were
infinite, like a snake that
ate itself, choked, and
expelled poison but, at
least it shed the truth.
.
you were cunning and i
was the fool. you played
my edges and i fell for
you with an open heart
and soft wet secret petals.
love, JANEisnotplain
