Unmentionables - Parenthetical Girls

sick then with pride

now scarcely recognized

and i felt his size

close to a dozen times

his legs gave way like pages

from a pop-up book

and i had to look presently unsure

i was the very first one

what arrogance it gave me at the time

you swore to me before we kissed

you’d never breathe a word of this and i

i was satisfied

time cast aside

i held on the hopes as mine

and so what if heavens collide

we all pass our primes in time

the fates are trapped as legs divide

you came of age in quarter time and i

i was mortified
