I leaned on our forbidden wall
the one you had me up against
the first time we made love
it seemed as if you thought I shouldn't be there
without you.
You held her hand impatiently
it looked so obvious...
She looked my way and half-ass smiled
I grinned and thought
"So how do you like my sloppy seconds, Sweetie?"
You kissed her on the mouth
(and made damn sure I saw)
my jealousy
would be your sweetest revenge
(that is, if I let it be seen)
You noticed the careless look I masqueraded around
but I saw Hell through your eyes
like I always had
when another guy looked at me.

The sun started to come out of hiding
and into my eyes
so I walked away from my spot
and by the both of you
swaying my hips
and flicking my ashes on her shoe.
I disappear around the corner
and make my way home...
praying the whole way
that you'll be calling me tonight.

I liked this, it was a poem about a common issue, there was nothing vague about it, it was intigueingly honest. Well done.
