a game we play (part two)

i.

i flipped all of the naughty pictures
you sent me sideways

so i could lay my body in
the fetal position

whilst crying, cradling my knees
and still be able to see them
comfortably

ii.

comfortable shoes are underrated,
like

singing the blues is dated
like

wishing you would've waited
like

virginity is an entity/something
we'd like

to keep like

a wedding ring is really
just a talking piece
of jewelry

to be removed prior to swimming
or 'cheating'- what a funny name-
like

it's nothing more than a game
we play
