Collection on Men

Poetryoneliners

a.

Stop trying to find a home

In all those men that didn’t work out

You have to build it yourself

b.

I gave in

Because he wanted me

(-In what seemed to me

A real (enough) way-)

And I never forgave him

When he left

c.

Never thought I’d be counting bodies

I had one

And didn’t realize

Virginity was my way of asserting autonomy

In a world where we have none

d.

I always remind myself that I loved you for a long time

As if there is something real in time

e.

You don’t think of me as a real person

You think of me as a figure in your dream

With no backstory

Only there to serve you in the moment

f.

You desperately want me

Squeezed into the small space left

After all your plans have been made.
