I've Never Fucked A Lover
Luxy

Hes not the one
 1
the shadow sitting in the corner
 2
the one sipping bourbon out of a dirty glass,
 3
desperate for a lady
 4
who can never keep her mind straight
 5
or legs closed.
 6
And what of that?
 7
I keep kissing things
 8
that call me baby and I am that girl
 9
that twists him up in knots and tight bows.
 10
I turn the lamps off to let the darkness hide my skin.
 11
I let the music play all over.
 12
And for what? A few exhausted limbs?
 13
To ruin silence?
 14
All those pains
 15
don’t burn the bone,
 16
they can’t cure the disease
 17
or put it out at night.
 18
I suppose death
 19
can only make me orgasm.

I think Jung when I read stuff like this that's SO relevant to a space I might be in at the time of reading.  There's no way you could know how brilliant this was for me to read this morning.  I love it.  Your poem tapped my gut line by line.

I suppose death is the only man for me.

Who can make me orgasm.
22

No period at the end of line 21, otherwise 22 is a poorly punctuated question.  The transition from 4-5 is a little explosive... otherwise neat, I don't feel a lot of depth or wordplay here, its just a reader, one of those poems written to get the words off your chest.  I like it.

i found the last line to be over-exposed...so much light in my eye i can't see the colours. . .
i guess it is sort of brave to be so explicit. the truth is the truth, i suppose...just not, you know, poetically poetic.

like the first 4 lines.

It hits so close to home, I almost questioned if I wrote this content before.

thanks

i love this poem. i feel the same way sometimes, except i'm a male. i really like lines 11-13 a lot and the last two.
 — infinity

This is bitter. I like it.
 — SarahMichele

P.S. Maybe change the last two lines ... ex. "I suppose only death could make me orgasm"  rather than "death is the only man.." - just a suggestion.
 — SarahMichele

You need to meet me...

I could perhaps help you out.

;-)
 — Salamander

ps why is death a man?

rather sexist don't you think?
