you tossed out your red flags ~
i caught them, like the expert i am
wove them into a nice warm blanket
i could wrap around myself
. . . & loved you.
it didn't matter
you were lying;
i'd been lied to before
but your lies were sweet
like candy
or even better ~
like chocolate.
they melted into me
left me craving for more
& you obliged me
cos that's the kind of man you are.
i don't regret a thing
except that now
dammit,
i miss you ~
even men who really loved me
never had your impact
on my heart.
