IN MY LIFE Someone slapped my face Someone stole my joint Someone lied about last night Someone really loved me Someone bought me emeralds Someone fucked me good Someone forgot my phone number Someone sucked my toes Someone made me breakfast Someone waxed my car Someone liked my cats Someone gave me HPV Someone sand me a song Someone read me poetry Someone wore my shoes Someone liked my paintings Someone got me shit faced Someone called late at night Someone farted in my bed Someone took me skinny-dipping Someone spoke to me in dreams Someone wanted to smell my hair Someone died of cancer Someone got me pregnant Someone came too soon Someone fed me chocolates Someone rode a Ducate Someone wouldn't let me leave Someone left my clothes on Someone called me crazy Someone proposed in high school Someone tried to come back Someone was afraid of worms Someone believed I loved him Someone helped me in math Someone still has my shoes Someone lied about his poetry Someone showed me the mountains Someone was just passing through Someone took me home to his mother Someone fucked me on the stairs Someone called me another's name Someone liked my finger up his ass Someone danced with my mother Someone nicknamed my cunt Someone thought I needed them Someone gave me a dildo Someone promised forever Someone called me at work Someone shared his cheesecake Someone said he didn't smoke Someone drank more than me Someone couldn't get it up Someone held his breath Someone locked my door Someone wore Drakar Someone bruised my thighs Someone did imitations Someone played guitar Someone never told me his name Someone already dated my best friend Someone cried when I left Someone didn't tell me about his wife Someone thought something would happen Someone is still waiting Someone taught me football Someone had a bad temper Someone wanted more than sex Someone thought he was better Someone kissed me in 2nd grade Someone broke my heart Someone tasted horrible Someone tried to break up my marriage Someone growled when he came Someone had a 9 inch cock Someone was allergic to my cats Someone drove with his knees Someone forgot my birthday completely Someone couldn't let go Someone never watched TV Someone liked to go for walks Someone always made me gag Someone took me to a Who concert Someone ate my edible underwear off Someone never happened at all Someone became famous Someone stunk Someone tied me up Someone stalked me Someone thinks he is in here...somewhere THIS IS WHERE This cookie-dough flesh that I hide in suffocates my muse Soft & thick and opaque I've lost that diaphanous lust that spewed like cum from my thighs It's a safe haven A reclusive shield against all that darkened my view fogged it over and steered me away I stay home now and read other's poetry and try to forget these poems of gone left unsaid feeling dead at the end of my story |
