WHAT TRIPPED ME UP

Bookmark
HomePoetryWHAT TRIPPED ME UP

after you left

there was nothing,

all of it

scraped out,

the torso hollowed,

the heart

the lungs

the liver,

gone

the eyes

plucked,

the tongue

removed,

the rest

just empty,

sprawled

dead drunk

across sheets

that still smelled

of you,

of your hair,

of the taste of everything

you were

and I wondered

how you could

leave a man

who loved you

like that,

who would

lay it all out

in exchange

for all the shit

you handed back

but I know now

I wasn’t supposed

to love,

only use

 

that’s what

tripped me up
