“I think it’s best if we don’t see each other 24/7,” he said on one of our dates. So when he left after only an hour of being together, I didn’t question him. When he said he wanted to spend his weekend with his friends because that was his “routine”, I didn’t second-guess his affection for me.
Flash forward to the present: “I’m staying over her house.” I stand beside him dumbstruck. They’ve only been together a couple weeks, and not even officially.
“I’ve grown to really like being around her a lot.” Translation: he wants to spend every waking (and sleeping) moment with her. But by comparison, when he was with me, he didn’t like being around me for too long, huh?
You think you know someone, then they do something so revolting, and you don’t know whether to cry or gag. You just know you want to purge them out of your life permanently before they make you feel any more insignificant.

prose: Prose poetry is poetry written as prose, in other words it is a hybrid form combining poetry and prose. The poem has all of the essential elements of traditional poetry written in verse. It has rhythm, rhyme, repetition, assonance, consonance, and imagery.The imagery can be so startling as to be surrealistic in nature. I'm sorry, but I don't see this. Also, how can one flash "back" to the present? sorry he was an ass. men are that way. you'll find someone better soon enough. chin up!

it is so hard when you think you know someone and then they pull that. crying sometimes causes the gagging.. both necessary to get over being hurt by a jerk i think... being sad and nauseated TO allow happiness and an appetite for love again.
im likin your prose.

You tell a tale of someone, or something, so hard to deal with. I know just how this feels. You give yourself to someone and they react like you are smothering them. Then, they suddenly find someone new and can't get enough of them. The guy doesn't deserve you, and he certainly doesn't know what he let get away. Someone else is going to be very grateful, however, that he did. You're sweet Jess, extremely good poem. (Different for you, but it just shows how versatile you are.).

It's obvious to me...and in some way to you that this so called ex of yours is a hypocrite and doesn't respect you the way you really should be. Gives nice guys a bad name (And yes there ARE a few of us here.) lol. We're just in hiding. Haha!
