Her

"For me, there will always be him. For him, there will always be her."

for me, the spread of stars

over your spine where you pasted freckles

like flecks of paint - for me this is home,

and for you, it is the slight gap between her teeth. 

the first time you met her, i watched myself

go dark in your eyes. she exploded in your brain

like metal in a microwave. i watched her sparks

dance over your arms so when you kissed me

the next morning

you still carried the smile she gave you.

no, no. true agony

is watching her

take you from me.

Wow, nice read, I enjoyed the descriptions and the fate of the worst way to lose someone, because you can't do anything about it.
