dear r: happy anniversary, again

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
