i wrote this when i was 18

i wanted to kiss you

last night

at the park near your house with
too many people in the car.

And I wanted to hold your hand and
feel your lips on my forehead...
so i hit you and laughed and
we played tag like that for a while
18 year old kindergartners.

And I caught you looking at me
and the dissapointment masked
by annoyance when
i mentioned another man.
and do I do that when you mention
another girl?
maybe you saw me wince when you
stung me with that one.

And you said that you liked it
when I bit you
and I bet it will leave a scar

and no matter what happens
all your girlfriends will ask what
that mark on your shoulder is.
