internal infidelity

don't think about him

she's beautiful isn't she?

her hair curls near the curve of her back

her nails are a dark blue color.

don't think about him

her laugh is contagious

everything she says is funny.

don't think about him

i wish i could focus on her

only her

but we are in a love triangle

a body versus a memory

present versus past-

buy your ticket to see the fight.

don't think about him

i'm cheating

not physically

mentally.

when she speaks, i wonder if he'd agree

when she laughs, i wonder if he would laugh too

when i kiss her, i wonder if he's kissing his own version of "her"

an abstract woman who isn't me

and i wonder

is he thinking

"don't think about her".
