Let me know what you like or don't like...

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.
