I’d Let the Cat Out of the Bag

A poem vaguely about the relationship trauma and secrets

By Eric SpokePublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I'd let the cat out of the bag

But it died in there

Now it's rotting

You really don't want to see it

If I spilled my guts out

You'd be really scarred

No one should have to look at another person's guts

I see things not in black and white but variants of puke green

Luckily those colors are my favorite

We stopped having sex after I admitted to routinely counting the radial folds on your asshole during intercourse

17. I counted multiple times because it didn’t seem right that it was an odd number
