BEING THE SECOND LOVE (SLAM POEM) - Dedicated to my Ex-Girlfriend


I feel sorry for the woman who will love you once I have gone,

She’ll find herself competing with the idea of me,

Wondering why I still roam your soul,

She will chuckle twice when you call her by my name accidentally,

My presence will rip holes in her,

You’ll only tell her stories of how I destroyed you,

Never thinking to tell her I was also the one who built you up,

She will hold you only half as tight because she will remember how you told her it felt like I was suffocating you,

But you will never tell her how the tips of my fingers running up your spine kind of made you short of breath.

She will kiss you softly, as if she was trying not to break you,

But did you ever tell her how you always got a little thrilled when I slammed you against a wall and kissed you like you were the last psalm i would ever read before going to hell.

How you loved being broken by me because it turned you on to see my blood all over your heart as if it were me that was pumping in your veins.

She will be the stable one, the one who promises to stay,

She doesn’t know that your feet are made for running,

And your heart a compass that will always point at me,

So she breaks it while you’re asleep,

She finds every map in the house and rips them to shreds so you can never find me again,

You won’t tell her how much you miss my poetry, how her poems only hold half as much passion as mine did,

She will write you love letters to make you forget the ones I’ve burned into your flesh,

They never tell us about the women who come once the first loves have finished their destruction,

They never speak of the ones who have to love twice as hard,

The ones who compete with the ghosts of first loves,

The ones who will always be 2nd place in a race,

Even if they’re the ones to make it to the finish line first.
