such an ineloquent metaphor but
remember that time you put your dick in me
and it didn't even matter because
I was already pregnant with the pounds
of expectations you laid on me?

remember that time you could only hear
me say things you wanted or that
you liked, remember how I had learned to
deep throat and you said oh, you didn't
learn to push any farther than that?

remember the time when you went
home to your skinny wife after
cheating on her with me and then asking
me if I was going to the gym, if I was
doing enough cardio, if I was dieting?

remember that time when I was
working so hard to stand still and strong
inside of myself, to believe that I have
worth or beauty or value, remember that
time when I invited you in?
