i used to be jealous of you emma
and of what he said and wrote
about your honeyed breasts and long white legs
and how every time you turned your face away
from his kisses your little pointed chin
cut him deep and red

and i said she makes you pathetic
and said she hasn't earned your love
and other things

i'm not really jealous of you anymore
is what i'm getting at here emma
now that i'm the one writing letters
to your honeyed breasts and long white legs
with every thought you don't reply to
made glass beneath my tongue.
