I need me more than I need you.

I can’t understand letting you go

and protecting myself—

Korean snacks, cigarillos and sex

just isn’t enough, to keep you or around long.

Slimming down and a waist I can’t wait,

for you, to grip and leave reminders of you.

I like the taste, and tease, of you.

I’m not addicted, but obsessive—

and I’ve played it safe until you.

The Tower, The Hanged Man and now The Fool.

I’ve played games and with cards— and still lost.

It’s hard to erase you and the memories away;
