The Date You Absquatulated

By Fasiha Khan

How dare I say 

That you haven’t done anything for me 

of course I made the notes 

behind your textbooks

whispering those sweet nothings

wet kisses on your cheek

unintentional flirts

the back hugs 

we used to love it all

but those brutal slaps

the hurtful sarcasm

unhealthy language used

and forever broken trust

you took it all like a man

how dare I say

that you haven’t done anything for me 

when you have seen 

the ugliest side of love for me 

and even if you are not here to tell me

your absence is more than required 

to narrate it to me
