That Word

Standing alone here

and I remember how it feels

Listening to the words

and I remember what it's like.

Seeing my friend

Knowing I can't go to his side

The only time that word drops from your lips.



When I tire of this loneliness

I break the chains.

I talk to my friend.

You glance over disapproving.

You shake your head

That word at your lips as you speak to others.





Shortly, we're in your car

You're taking me home.

In my driveway

You look at me

You want to come in.

You pretend that word never crossed your lips.



But I know all too well

Your opinion of me.

It shows in your expectations.

Don't talk to me

Just fuck me.

That word at your lips

your expectation of me

To be

Forever your

"whore"




Author's Notes/Comments: 

Okay, I wrote this about this guy I used to date who just wanted me to sit at his side and dote on him while he ignored me.  And if I talked to my friends, he would call me a whore.  Which was all he wanted for me to be in the end...a good screw.

Such a painful poem and a more painful word. Be comforted that it was he who did more damage... to himself for missing out on all that is you.

What a blind idiot.
