i went out with my friends
all dolled up
in my high class call girl best
the night after we broke up
he was tall blonde beautiful and stupid
5 years younger than me
a marine
home from the war
on leave
the groom of his wedding party
we got bleedin’ drunk on 5th street
and stumbled back to the millennium hotel
buying condoms along the way
it was the place
you and i
had first met
and said goodbye
that sickening july
perfectly evil indeed
america’s favorite white meat
and i fucked him
i fucked him so hard
to spite you
to eat the world
to reclaim me
to kill anything of us
still holy

You are simply lovely. Thank you. I’m glad I’m touching someone in the ether.

This is one if those moments when I could have, should have but didn’t. I remember feeling that intense anger. Maybe if I did then it would of helped but I thing it would have left me more empty than satisfied.
Beautiful words My Pirate.
