I.
only when you slept
was I free to eat my fill
that’s why I left you

II.
one day you got a
flashlight: “open wide and show
me all.” so I did.

III.
you would stand afar
watch my group gab at the bar
chew your straw, alone

IV.
embarrassed myself;
you could do a wolf whistle
on your blue les paul

V.
you liked me until
I passed that test you didn’t
then your eyes went cold
