The Rebound Guy (Poem)

After my (approximately one month) relationship ended I was confused and wanted some attention. That attention came in the form of two different men. I ended up having sex with one of the men while the other one continued to play games. I wanted to write a poem about the experience with the real rebound guy, but instead I wrote about the failed attempt. Enjoy!

 The Rebound Guy

Written 5/28/2011

He could’ve had me…

Fresh out of a relationship

Heart broken

Mind open

Body Calling For His Attention

Hoe notions flooding my brain

Not looking for a homie, lover, or friend

Just a minute to block the past out

Have no future thoughts

Enjoy the moment as it came

The rebound guy was his name

In my mind he and I came simultaneously

It was beautifully insane

Thoughts of our bodies together in the rain

Or at someone’s house

He bragged about his sex game

Supposedly he had moves he couldn’t even explain

Football, basketball

He had played every sport there is

But I just wanted sex in its purest form

Our bodies entangled under or maybe on top of some bed sheets

Or perhaps against the wall

Would it hurt to do it on the stairs?

Then again I’ve never tried sexual positions in the back of a car

Whether slow motion or rough sex

By the end we could taste each other’s sweat

He continued to bragged about his sex game

But instead was addicted to his picture phone

Dreams of half naked girls appearing only in his world

Or was I the only girl?

I was feigning for affection

Because I had lost my last obsession

But he claimed I wasn’t desperate enough

Scared

Afraid of possibly falling in love

Because supposedly he had it that good

But time kept ticking

And he still wanted to be teased

But my heart was healing

Or maybe I was just getting bored

Or maybe there was a distraction

He could’ve had me

But he took too long
