Public Execution

I recall and pause
on days
for days that transcended
to months
where loving you
was sweeter than sweet
I kept you neat
Groomed and clothed
preppy almost
we boast about
how they would come
no, the other way
without cursing
but it’s what we say
No really meant slow
and kisses sent
them into vertigo
thus our ploy was a farce
and lies rain like showers
forcing hearts and minds
to collapse as South and North Towers
our apologizes are despised as we
for every intent to deceive
for me because he
does not care
so share in this moment
this magnificent occasion
of the public execution
of this played out playa
layer by layers
seeing passing his glasses, hat, and beard
until that part of me is dead
