Losing means losing to someone better
By: Ben Costen on 5/9/2007; 8:34 PM

The goal of life is to take love,
to rob women of it.

In one summer I took the love
of five women.
They were, all
serious women,
who guarded their lives and loves seriously.

(...high cheekbones,
dark black straight hair,
bright red lips,
short business skirts...)

It was an honest removal.
Like the clothing
undressed itself.
Wanting passion
so badly,
having sought it
for the span of their lives,
and now having found it,
come by it so honestly,
each one remitted
to the passions
within themselves.

Our seriousness was only bested by
our candid approach to the experiences
life had blessed us with,
and our candidness
was only bested by our rugged style. (good looks)

All five of them fell deeply (for me),
and when I had left, each one
fell into a deep depression.

Missing now a whole part of their lives,
(built over many years,)
cultivated by past trysts, finding the right lipstick
and appreciating short stubble
on the right men,
handsome men who had made them
know they could acquire more of that type.

Lost, all of that was gone from them now.
From them into me,
a bigger heart among a deficit of hearts.
