Broken Hearts, and Other Broken Things

Anna was kind. She always asked what I’d eaten. She loved watching movies with me. We’d make out for hours. She had beautiful fingers.

Martha was smart. She knew how much everything cost. She loved eating at the ice cream parlor. She lived with her sister. She never slept at their place.

Judith was fierce. She paid for our first date. She kept everything neat. She didn’t mind that I forgot her birthday. She never wore skirts.

Anna met me an innocent youth. Martha blew my mind. Judith healed my soul.

Anna couldn’t stand my childishness for long. Martha found a better-looking guy. Judith caught my messages.

Anna left a note. Martha left her bra. Judith broke my phone.
