Haikus for the Untrue

a confession

By St. JeanPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Jealous of tinder

Girls cuz you remind me of

My boyfriend sometimes

It doesn't matter

You are your own person and

I'm delusional

I like your stories

And your voice I want to wrap

My legs around you

The first time you called

Me babe i got wet but it

Wasn't personal

Your kisses didn't

Feel driven by love but by

Anxious urgency

It's been awhile

Since I have had loveless sex

I should feel more shame

I forgot about

The emptiness, and you went

Right back to tinder

Never before have

I had someone to cheat on

Yes, I am ashamed

But it's just lust and

The issue that I might like

You more than him now

What am I to you?

Probably nothing special

Surely not your type

Maybe I am just

Tolerable, a drunk bitch

Shallow fucking whore

I have someone who

Loves me, if he knew about

This, he'd say goodbye

Please let's forget it

I'll run off to the South and

Compartmentalize

heartbreak
