He Didn't Cheat (?) Poem by Catarina Felgueiras

He didn't cheat
But
Was it okay to still be with her?

After all the reassurance
"She's just a friend"
"I do not want anything with her"
Was that real?

Was it real when less then a week after everything
The breakup
The sex
Something still happened?

She
The one who I talked to
About the discomfort I felt every time she was around

She
The one who gave me reassurance
"Nothing is going to happen between us"

All the little respect I had for them
Vanished
Instantly

The disgust is stronger than any other emotion
And I just found that out

Screw them both
