i don't date anymore.

i still remember
the night you
sat me down
on your twin sized
mattress
that we had possessed
so many nights in.
i stared into your
deep dark green
eyes and felt sadness
before you even said
a word.
i knew.
you asked me:
"how would you feel
if you found out
i cheated?" i took a
deep breath, looked
around the room
nervously.
"i would understand,. . . there's many girls out there who are more beautiful and might make you happier. i would totally understand, because i'm just me. theres not much to me that's very attractive and i don't have flawless skin or hair, so i guess i would've guessed it." i stated.
you still looked
me in the eyes,
tears welled up,
and told me you'd
been sleeping with
a girl for the course
of two months.
instead of denying
those things i had
said about myself,
you just confirmed
every insecurity i
had ever withheld
in just three minutes.
i left you the next day
and didn't look back.
i don't date anymore.

so i've entirely redone "in a minute", i've rewritten some of the poetry and have added different formats like the title and drawings. the drawings will not always associate with the poem. just doodles. i also have begun expecting more out of myself then just little TEE TINY poems that don't have any meaning, so maybe this'll work out in my favor? hahahaha but i hope you do enjoy. have a nice night!!
