Smile like a crescent moon
until the fullness of your lips
he never kissed
sends him into a tailspin.
Walk with the confidence
you thought you’d lost
when he turned you down
but in fact you grew instead.
Laugh like a hyena,
like a kitten, like you
while he reels off pick up lines
until his face turns blue.
Order a drink
whilst he waits for his,
twirl the cherry stem with your tongue
remember how you’ve won.
Finish his sentences
by checking the watch
you never wear,
by making a move for the door.
Say hello and goodbye
all with one breath,
inhale his lust and exhale
the best he never had.
When the boy who spurned you
wants you back, wave
but remind him it’s rude
to stare.

Me not being here earlier is entirely my mistake… I’ve had some trying times and not been able to keep up with SD nor wordpress in general. My apologies! I’m sure glad I’m here now! :3 ❤
