What Lips These Lips Have Kissed (I Have Not Forgotten)

Can you tell which of

these haikus is meant for you?

Listen up, lovers.

III.
I warned you my hands

were sweaty; More from your gaze

Than anything else.

IV.
Do you still take

Pictures of the girls you fuck?

Or was I the last?

X.
When I see your smile

I can’t help but wonder if

You’re still suffering.

XIII.
I bet you’re so proud

To be my first boy kiss, but

I define myself.

I.
Sometimes I’m shocked there’s

No string around my finger.

I still feel the pull,

XI.
I can laugh because

Kissing in a pizza shop

Really hit the spot.

XVI.
I’m still trying to

Erase the damage that our

Selfish lips had done.

VIII.
Even kissing you

In creepy elevators,

My fickle heart pounds.

XII.
We should not have met

In your West Side apartment,

I almost hate roofs.

VII.
Now did I fail you?

Or did you slowly decide

To destroy yourself?

VI.
I still ache, thinking

Of my shiny new nose ring

Getting caught on yours.

IX.
You were so damn drunk,

You shouldn’t have driven home.

How did I miss that?

XVII.
I do, I promise

I remember your name, I

still see faint bruises.

XIV.
Your face was priceless

When I first told you that sex’s

Not all about you.

XV.
I feel nothing for

you, but I won’t deny it,

I want you again.

V.
I’m sorry I can’t

Love you. But I’m glad that you

Accept me for it.

II.
You will never know,

How I admire your every

Eyelash, blink and tear.
