Thread: Damn. (Language)

I know I shouldn't do this.
It's been so long
since I've held in a secret.
It feels comfortable and familiar
and yes,
exciting.

I want to say:
I have a husband.
I want to say:
I said I'd wait for you
but I guess I didn't.

It would have been easier
if you hadn't emailed.
That fucking little inbox
is taunting me
with should-have-beens.

I thought this was intriguing...except for the F word, I did not feel that was needed and indeed took away from the poignant nature of this poem. Good work though and I enjoyed reading this one. Peace...Jul

Ah yes, the slippery slope. At least that's what I think of these situations as being.

I thought it well done, too. As for the f word, it is more poignant without it, but maybe that wasn't the feeling you were trying to express here, me thinks.
