The one you can't be proud of

 

 

Will you ever mention me

to the one that sets you free

that gives you everything

you ideally need

 

will you bother to explain

the not so proud of deeds

those things you did

with me

 

tell her

of the sex you had

when vulnerable

and lonely

 

Of the love you had

before her

but at the pressure of conscience and society

pushed away

 

because I had no place

in your story book fantasy

no happy ending

American dream
