I Chose To Stay

She left me for him.

She had often flirted with him,

And when I expressed concern she laughed it off,

And I awkwardly joined,

Despite my suspicions.

She flirted with him.

She kissed him,

His lips smooth and cool,

Like the glass of a poison bottle.

She kissed him,

And she left me behind.


I considered going after her,

Following her,

To try to be with her again,

But I did not want to give him the satisfaction of having us both.


So I remain behind

And try to move on.
