futon love
you saw me through my twenties
my casual sexual encounters
sometimes pining away for loves that would only reject me
you were with me
on those self-love date nights
i came home
showered
cooked a guormet dinner
for myself
and thoroughly enjoyed my womanhood
by myself
i'm married now
and my husband
has thoughtfully decided
to disassemble your strong limbs
which so carried me through my twenties
and dump you on bulk garbage day
i will dearly miss
our intimate moments
but will always have the warm memories of your
futon love!
