The beautiful feeling after writing a poem is on the whole better even than after sex, and that's saying a lot.


did i tell you i hated you
because i did
because your scent bothered me
and you words followed me
and your skin haunted me
and your dreams killed me
because i couldn't get you out of my head
did i tell you i hate you
because i do
i can see you in the mirror
standing in my reflection
i can hear your words fleeing from my mouth
i walk like you
i talk like you
i eat like you
i speak like you
i dream like you
i think like you
i am you
i am what is left by you
and i don't want to be
because i hated you
because i hate you
because i may learn not to
and that scares me
