We Made Our Regrets In The Backseat, Dear.

You said I love you

like a shirt you tried

on for size.

It fit for quite sometime

but the color faded

the threads wore

you didn't hesitate to trade it in.

 

You've washed your hands of this.

 

Our backseat affairs

You made me a w***e

I made you a man

you're still too self righteous

to see, you've broken all of me.

 

"I think we need a break."

after only three days?

I gave myself to you

 

this is starting to leave

a bad taste in my mouth

 

Are you happy now that I'm on my knees?

 

You've gotten off scot free

how long before your conscience

won't let you forget me?

You've broken all of me.

 

One day you'll need me there

baby, I'll be gone, long gone.

really well done. what i like about it, is that it's different. you state things in a brand new way, which is what good poetry is all about. it's not just a venting of emotion or angst - it's a poetic way of expressing your soul. and i'm really impressed with this piece. i'll have to look at more of your work. :)

I love this part because it is so true..
"You made me a w***e
I made you a man"

That is how society treats gender differently.
A guy gets made out to be a hero for spreading his seed around and a girl is called a ho for giving in one time to anything at all.
Women just want to please people and it is this big illusion that everyone has already been there done that untill you actually do that and then you are considered bad for doing what you thought everyone was doing. LOL
Thanks for sharing.
Love All, Mejasha

I love the loss in this. The comparison of the shirt with the relationship is brilliant. Great write. So sad for the girl though.
