So Very Perfectly Flawed
You may never know
how often
I opened your page
and looked
down on you like that
posing naked
from the waist down ..
Was he really
so damn good, or just
another trick
you turned to spite me ..
I remember
that shirt tho’ carefully
unbuttoned
just far enough to reveal
the gentle cleft
between those perfectly
formed small
breasts of yours which
I may even once
have called buttercups ..
Not a hint of a
smile tho’ just a quickie
for the camera ..
Did he tell you to sit like
that I wonder
with your knees so very
well parted ..
Your mother would never
have sat like that ..
But then you know that
already don’t you ..
I never even guessed for
one moment
you had so many pretty
piercings ..
You never told me,
but then, why would you ..
Oh’ by the way,
is that check shirt you are
wearing mine
or his and is it blue or black ..
It’s so hard to tell
in monochrome for certain ..
Maybe you stole
or borrowed it for the sake
of modesty or
for art even, but whatever
the case, I just
love the way your eyebrows
arch and your
finger combed loose hair
falls over those
finely chiselled shoulders
to reveal a near
invisible scar directly behind
your left ear,
which of course makes you
not quite so fucking
perfect after all does it my dear ..
Whoa, Neville!! They say revenge is a dish best served cold. Well, this poem is cold, very cold indeed. It drips with the “sting” you felt and perhaps still feel? Betrayal is a dish with rotted food, and served with a smile. But to have it shoved in your face takes betrayal to another level. While I liked your poem, I have to leave the room cause it’s just too damn cold in here. After this, Neville I think you might want to put that pen in the oven, warm it up a little. And whatever you do, do not eat that food!!!
