Love Is For The Birds Poem by Angelique' Rockwell

Again, I let you use my car
You took off for four whole days
Not the first time you've hurt me
There have been so many other ways

What confused me was when you came back
Asking a number of a mutual friend
I recited freely although no contact this year
You looked like the world very well might end

Did it hurt that I can't forget
How much that man once meant to me
You've replaced every memory with ours
But the jealousy is still there I see

If only I could let you know
Without pushing you too far away
How many times I think of you
Every single passing day

The sex we have is amazing
It's like a different person each time
Everytime you tell me 'come on'
My heart just stops on a dime

I know the sex means nothing to you
And I try to feel the same way
But the fantasies you bring real for me
You leave me helpless as what to say

I know that I've hurt you,
Which I'd never intenionally do
But it seems you leave me wanting
More and more of you

It's basically an impossible match
You've said as much in fewer words
I guess I'll never understand
Of course, love is just for the birds
