Despair

DESPAIR

You seduced
the moon,
undressing it
with your soul.

 

You aroused
the stars,
turning them on
with melancholy.

 

You tortured
them with
anticipation.

 

You wern't into
long distance
relationships

 

so slept with
my best mate
instead.

What a shock for the reader as well as yourself George. Like the astral imagery combined with the simple statement ' but you weren't into long distance relationships' - is caustic the word I am looking for? But understandably so.
