_____by Tameca L. Waid

I have always hated breakup sex,
you know what I'm talkin about
that sex you have with the person
you broke up with,
three weeks after the two of you
have broken up

trying to get back that feeling the two of you had
just one more time

or maybe just trying to get that one last clinging bit
of them out of your system

then in the morning you hate yourself
because the only thing you feel is empty
and alone

I hate breakup sex

so why do I keep doing it?
