A haiku for every boy I’ve ever slept with

Webcam did wonders
The first couple times I came
I felt powerful

I love you, you said
I returned false affection
I love sex, you meant

You were my warmest
Summer turned cold December
Fooled the calendar

If telephones count
(They probably should, because)
We fucked for hours

There were two of you
I screamed and cried and begged both
Neither stopped laughing

Virginities: where
Do they go when you take them?
Maybe the bed sheets

You didn’t tell me
So I didn’t treat it like
It was your first time

Forty-something you
Undressed a teen willingly
I still judge myself

The line between rough
And force despite resistance
Is found on your couch

Camped out in your trunk
I see your car everywhere
Never you at all

I have known ten wrongs
Ten misconnections to show
Please don’t be one, too

I want hip bones
That are visible without
Sucking in
And bending
Contorting to feel
Small enough
A flat stomach
When I lie down
So the shame of someone
Lying on top of me
Can finally
Dissipate
I wouldn’t mind a thigh gap
Or the lack of a sinking feeling
In my stomach
When I sit down in shorts
Smaller breasts
Maybe a B cup
Even a C
So these DD’s would stop hanging
So low
When I stand in the shower
While you soap them up
Mentioning the left one is larger
Which sounds like an insult
No matter how common you claim it
To be
Among girls
You’ve fucked
And washed
And examined
Before me
A fully shaved pussy
Every day of my life
Without the trouble of actually
Shaving it
Because I miss spots
And can’t quite reach the back
Or figure out what to do
About the hairs on my asshole
And it grows back too fast
And my panties rub the day-old stubble
Which hurts
And embarrasses
When you try to be romantic
And finger me off-guard
I feel ashamed
That you have to pretend
You don’t see the hair
In order to come
To my body
You picture someone else’s
Which I get
Because after you’ve gone
And I am without you
I know
Whoever fucks me next
Will have your face
When I close my eyes

All I want is everything from you.

I want someone to listen to Brand New albums with. I want sleepovers at your apartment and late night talks about your fears and dreams. I want to get to know you and become your best friend and kiss when we’re ready and hug always and I want to memorize your arms and I want privileged information like how many sugars you take in your coffee and how often you question your breathing. I want to give you books and spend days in bed without words, just eyes and hands and no television in the background to steal your attention. When I love, I love deep and consume myself in the feeling and I need to find someone who is okay with me becoming totally captivated by them and who isn’t afraid of that kind of passion and attention. Not too many people are. We can learn each other’s majors and how our parents make their money but I’d much rather hear about the last time you cried and what that felt like, or your favorite memories or what food makes you feel better so I know what to show up at your door with when we get in a fight, because we will, and I want you to be okay with the fact that we’ll fight because I want you to be the kind of person who knows fighting is a part of it but doesn’t make it a big part. I’ll be good to you and treat you well and I want the same from you because I haven’t had it very much in the past but the short time I did have it made me crave it so much.
