THE RETURN

With the taste of vomit on your lips

and smoke in your hair

and maybe some guy's cum

and that shifty, distant look in your eye

you arrive with expectations?

You think, after your adventurous exit

and your dissipated return

that things could continue as they were?

You suggest that things can be better?

I find it astonishing that you are so naive

so self-centered

that you think I would take you back

after the way you left

and the state of your restoration.

I am simply speechless

that you know me so well.
