Men I have known

Authors note: this was a challenge from a friend based on an Alanis Morrisette song, to write three lines about a previous lover. The choice of whom to include or exclude was mine.

***

Steve
You took my virginity
But I was nothing but a fucktoy
A 'user friendly' whore

Noor
You told me you were no good for me
Then took your own life
My love meant nothing to you

Curtis
You said 'let's do it'
But when I wanted to wait
You lost interest

Alex
You knew my weaknesses
And you played on them
But your love affair was with drugs and I came second place

Dave
I met you again years after
And you were still as sweet and caring
And I still felt nothing

Aaron
You abused my body
You abused my mind
But you couldn't break me and you hated me for that

Anthony
Your charm concealed
A dick the size of my little finger
And the charm was only surface deep

Rob
You wanted a chimpanzee
I gave you a child
You told me you'd only ever loved one person, it wasn't me

Jamie
You were the unattainable
A challenge
Once was enough

Andy
Your ex girlfriend cheated on you
Next time you chose to get in first
And I was your co-conspirator

Stu
You played guitar in a band
You never fucked me
I always wondered why

Ray
I was looking for security
You offered me that
And you understood my youthful idealism

Nuwan
You said you loved me
You placed me on a pedestal
I was always going to fall

Xavi
I didn't want you
I blame the alcohol
You had a sense of danger about you

Frank
You wanted a Domme
I thought I could be that for you
But the reality disgusted me

Craig
I had no problem with your foot fetish
It was the repeated absences and the lies
That cost you your chance

Gav
I scared you off
With that rose on valentines day
You read more into it than was there

Chris
I was drunk and horny
I had no interest in you
Not then and not now

Ben
You wanted a Mistress
I played the part as best I could
But allowed you too much freedom

Darren
You were a sympathy fuck
No more, no less
She didn't deserve you and I hope I boosted your ego

NFR
Even knowing I could only be second best
I still loved you
You will always be on my mind
