He stole my heart, the replica.
Running away -laughing- he ran into 'me.'
We exchanged technical information,
the garden variety kind.
He was curious, finding I still had my 'mind.'
I reassured him that all was well.
That he had indeed scored, but what he bought, was on sale.
The better half of me, he had left behind,
comparable to the watermelon - he had scored the rind.
I tried to comfort him with the fact,
that all would be well, his 'manhood' was still in tact.
He smiled a little bit at that; reminiscent of better days.
He vowed to alter some and amend his ways.
We chatted a little bit more off into the night.
Then off he went with all of his quintessential rights.

Thank youlol

Gold worthy indeed! There's a melange of emotions within this piece, melancholy, wistfulness, hurt, irony, touch of anger, even some pleasure...and that is how it is with relationships that break up not in fits but by slow degrees...there's no one true strain of emotion attached to the relationship, for there is a mixture of memories.
An exceptional poem.

Good
The poem uses unusual and imaginative subject matter to make a statement and is clever in its use. You paint a picture with words that bring your memories alive in the reader's mind, and we too can appreciate your world filled with imagination and love. The words took stage and treated the reader to a glimpse of your imagination. Nicely put, well written with poetic flare.
