I forgive and You Forget
By Dragonfly
I forgave you again today.
Pretending your heart was as pure
as
the snow that danced down and stuck on your eyelashes.
Pretending
those bright red lips have been missing me.
Sucking them like candies
from Christmas day.
Coiled around me, we walk down the crowded streets.
I don't notice the people awing at as.
You do though and push me
away
walking slightly ahead of me
and into a dark alley way.
Then you are back against me
heat of our bodies hot enough to melt
the days worth of snow.
You whisper in my ear that you Love m...
my body. and stupidly I hear you wrong and say "I love you too"
You
push me away then and shake your head.
Afterwards you become distant
and our memories fade like watercolors in a mason jar.
I follow
you and ask for you forgiveness
Taking the Christmas present out
early
to prove it to your unforgiving stare
You squeal as
you open it
eyes lighting up at the diamond earrings
i spent
two weeks worth of salary on
You hand me mine quickly
and I smile
back
at the twenty dollar Chop House Gift Card
"I know how
much you like to eat; you little chubby man." you say,
chubby turning
into some sort of pet name, your lips curling into a smile.
Forgetting
my whole story about how I'm a vegan.
And how secretly I was still
insecure about my weight
even though I had lost two hundred pounds.
I laugh along though and smile back at you as you put on your earrings.
Beautiful, how could someone so beautiful like me.
Then I see your
monster and understand.
You became the ugliest creature I have
ever seen.
No longer the woman I made my first Gingerbread house
with.
No longer the girl I could take camping with my dad, and five
siblings,
still feeling like we had room for one more.
Then
you ask me to walk you home
and regretfully I do
and as your
lead me up the steps
through the door
and in your room
I forgive
you again
Cause your body is amazing
and your face is beauty
at first sight
but your inner soul's a monster
a dark without
a light.
