list of denials

 
first
i never loved you
not in any way that would last 
for less than this life
and into the next
 
second
you cannot depend on me
for anything beyond the basics
as we've discussed so many times
"having food and raiment,
let us be content therewith"
just call everything else i give
gravy, frosting, excess
 
third
i don't enjoy
being around you much
for anything other than
the hiking, kayaking, picture taking,
movies, shopping, impromptu dates,
quiet snuggling, and other things.
or the food. oh, the food.
 
fourth
i simply don’t want to marry you
at least not again in this life
because that would involve
separating the entity known as 'us'
dividing the conjoined twins
that you and i have become
just to re-attach the two parts
and that would make no sense
no sense at all
 
last
if you should ever tell
someone, anyone, everyone
about this little list
i will deny that i meant
any of it as jest
it's best you leave it
alone
