Alarm (2024)

Your voices play in my head
more like an alarm,
insults and put downs,
it pulls at my heart.
I reminisce on things you said,
couldn’t recall if I was 20 or 21.
It seems I was too busy
worshipping that lacy black thong.
Was I not a good lay?
Don’t think I turned you on.
When I look at me I just see
exactly why you’re gone.
