That’s the thing about illicit affairs
And clandestine meetings and longing stares
Your touch
cold like snow
brought forth an incandescent glow
So Call me Machiavellian
as if
I care
Did you hear my covert narcissism
I disguise as altruism
Like some kind of congressman
who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes
an albatross in the poles
Bet I could still melt your world
this argumentative, antithetical girl
Take the words for what they are
nothing but
the dwindling, mercurial high
it is romantic how all my elegies
eulogize me?
still
like an old cardigan
under someone’s bed
crumpled
and
forgotten
until you pulled me
over you
on you
forever
your favorite
