Disguised as a person

I’m acting like a girl again
No
Actually that’s not true
I’m behaving like myself
Confused
Bemused
By you

I be-lie-ve

When you make those traditional excuses
"It's not you, it's me"
"I still care about you"
You must remember which person
You told which lie to...

I thought that I'd be safe with you

We promised
We'd be honest
But one of us lied

...and, sweetie
It wasn't me

Dignus es

"You get what you deserve in life"

I've heard it
said
and seen
on
memes

So I know
I'll be
alone

Deservedly
so

If you're healthy when they see you
You won't be when they leave you...

Conversation

I didn't notice how often we spoke
Until you stopped

Missing... you?

It's not you I crave, per se
Though it grieves me to admit it
It's just the feeling of being wanted -
That someone cared
Even if just for a minute

Things that go bump in the night...

The subtle delights
of fleshly pleasures in the night
I awake the next day
To evidence of mosquitos at play

Overanxious

The sky is blue
The weather - sunny
It's beautiful here
(and yet)
I worry

Patience

I try to be kind, understanding
Be a sympathetic friend
But your ever wilder mood swings
are driving me round the bend

Enrage

I'm angry with you
Raging
Rabid
Furious -
Curious
How my anger can be ignored
Abhorred
Exacerbated
I'm exasperated

On Churchgoing

I have never been happy clappy...
...more grumpy thumpy

Divine being?

I have
Never been
Feminine
Small or
Dainty
but
Sometimes
with you
I feel like a
Goddess
and
Sometimes that’s
Enough
