Background: Written in Summer 2004. Husband left me for another. I have edited some language, not sure if it is allowed. little miss misery i miss kissing you... your slightly spicy lips mingling with mine the taste, the sweetness but i digress i miss your touch... your gentle hand caressing the small of my back now when it occurs, i tingle but again, i digress i miss sharing our bed... snuggling up to your chest you quietly reading to me that book, by that guy once more, i digress i miss you... every essence of who you are the life we shared the love, the elation i cannot digress so f**k you for leaving, ripping out my heart, kissing me goodbye. taking up with that c*nt. how dare you stop loving me when i can’t stop loving you
loved the progression, and how, without going into great detail, an entire picture can be perceived. the raw edge at the end sums up a bad break-up perfectly; everything seems to be going well, then the world falls apart with an ugly, ethereal clarity. thanks for sharing this! and this is a free speech forum, may the profane reign
I like the flow of this poem, the return to "I digress", and the way that ending kind of jumps up and bites you on the ass.
