You were just
a placeholder
because no one else
wanted to be with me.
I used you for sex,
for intimacy.
I wasn't even
all that attracted to you.
Yes, sometimes
I miss your touch,
the animalism in your growl.
But at the end of the day,
all I needed was attention-
someone to notice
that I existed.
I just wanted
a warm body next to me and
someone to call me pretty.
But I guess you used me too;
I was always there when
you needed to get off.
Of course, I already admire
Of course, I already admire your poetic style; but the sheer honesty required to disclose this situation in this poem is more than admirable: it is a tremendous reflection of a devotion to Truth, and another aspect of why you are one of this site's finest Poets.
