i may have shared my sylvia
but i will keep her in the divorce
you can have jumanji
and all my lightbulbs
as long as you keep them
in your mouth
45 watts behind your teeth
anything is better than me!
i played body double
for another woman, i
must’ve reminded you
that i am me
when i undressed for you
when i was just
a voice on the phone
i was her, your damned girl,
and when i failed
to arrive at your apartment
dressed as her,
you couldn’t have loved me less
First, this one cut me to the quick. Been there done that! A great depiction of the pain especially with the last line of “you couldn’t have loved me less.”
Secondly, my home town is Washington, PA!
Thank you!
