Things You Said To Me

“‘The opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s indifference. Hate and love both require passion,” you said as we lay on our backs, smoking cigarettes in bed, naked under the sheet. We stared straight up at the ceiling, in the dark.

“Unless we both die at the exact same time, one of us is going lose the other,” you said as we lay naked, spooning in bed in the soft light of early dawn…

“You’re not the woman I’m going to have babies with,” you said as we lingered over breakfast and coffee the next morning.

“Let’s go,” you said after I told you there was no one home at my house…

“What the fuck is wrong with you? Why are you crying?” you screamed at me over the phone when you called me from jail…

“You’re not like those other bitches,” you said after I let you do that thing you liked…

“You’re the coolest chick I’ve ever met,” you said when I asked about the smaller sizes of a t-shirt with a famous serial killer on it…

“Fuck you, bitch,” you snarled at me when I threw the crystal ashtray toward your head when you walked through the door…

“All men are pigs. Don’t you forget it,” you mumbled between kisses on my mouth, pausing only long enough to help me pull my t-shirt over my head and unbuckle my belt.”
