 ^{He asks for your}

^{advice before he}

^{f***s his next}

^{victim. A girl}

^{much like your former}

^{self but not}

^{as pretty around the}

^{He paces now}

^{back and forth}

^{hoping you}

^{notice he wants}

^{you back.}

 

^So

^he

^taps

^his

^fingers

^on

^the

^waiting

^for

^an

^eye

^roll.

 

^{But it never came.}

I like it! My favorite lines...
"but not
as pretty around the
mouth."
and
"waiting for an eye roll"

[Daedalus]

Sounds like you pinned him to the cork, like some kind of horny beetle specimen.

I like this poem it feels honest and I feel like I can relate, I guess I've been on the other end of that conversation before.
