Poetry: Love Ish

that love shit with the late night calls and texts and sexts and sex
that love shit with the i want you’s and i miss you’s
that love shit with the sky’s a bluer blue and the grass’ a greener green
that love shit with the sweat breaking and knees shaking and panties wetting
that love shit with the sugar coated thoughts and even feelings that can’t be bought
that love shit with the he’s got what i want and also all i need
that love shit with the how come you don’t call anymore
that love shit with the who’s that bitch i saw you with before
that love shit with the mind racing and heart breaking
that love shit with the silent tears and the out of control sobs
that love shit with the that’s it, i’m gonna kill him thoughts
that love shit with the angry nights and drunken fights
that love shit with the “i faked it” type of lies
that love shit with the if i walk out that door i ain’t coming back no more
that love shit.
i want it.
