The prompts for 3 Word Wednesday this week are:

Glass
Question
Token 

~~~

token

i tried

i really tried

i wanted it to be just

a diversion, a bit of fun

i didn’t count on liking you

so much

you asked a question of me

can you do this without

attachment, without

feelings other than

lust

want

desire

i said yes but

i didn’t know then

what i came to know later

I didn’t know my feelings

for you

would reflect back unto

myself like images in a

carnival looking-glass

distorted and alien

and i learned the hard way that

i was a mere token

in your mind

just another mere

distorted and alien

token

of your

sexual prowess

    I’ve found myself in the position of ‘token’ a few times, it’s not fun. Great poem.

    Such harsh truthfulness in this one. I really like it. I think we’ve all felt this way a time or two. Seems that someone always ends up hurt, their feelings involved when it’s just supposed to be sex.
