Leaving me

Boys leave me with

Their smell on my skin

Their wineglass on my nightstand

Their teeth marks on my neck

Girls leave me with

Their perfume in my hair

Their letters in my shoebox

Their breath against my chest

Boys leave me

Once they're satisfied

Girls leave me

With their unsatisfactions

Boys leave

Quickly and quietly

Girls leave

Bit by bit, driftingly

But they always leave me,

In the end,

No matter who they are.
