I can't imagine
what you'd do
or what you'd say
if you knew
the night of the morning
spent with you
was spent with his breath
on the back of my neck
lips that followed the dips of my hips
and mine gripped the very tip
then slipped
down

or if you knew the truth
that I give you every ounce of my love
but share my body for fun
it's nonsense
the meaning is nonexistent
and I abuse any distance given

so I'm sorry
though I know it means nothing

these backward, stationary, forward
emotions
has caused the skin
draped over my bones
to grow so tired
feel it sliding down my skeleton
in slow motion
like the rain on your windshield
while we are parked off road
to discuss once more
this path we chose

I already know
my covers been blown
for so long
you've felt the presence
of someone unknown
and I've stalled to expose
his misplaced identity
out of selfish fear
that you'll no longer call me home

inside of anybody who inhales
is always a spec of death
knowing with each breath
you get closer
and closer
it's unconscious suicide in retrospect

like a droplet of rain
rushes to Earth's surface
women flock
like migrating birds
heading south for the winter
and if it's only for a minute or two
they'd all arrive early
just to be wooed by you

I know I leave a dent in your pillow
and strands of hair in your bed
but what remnants of me
if any
are left in your head?
am I solely erogenous flesh
that rests beside you
until awakened for pleasure
or more?
I don't wish to burn holes in your clothes
or rip tears through your sheets
but I'd like to know,
if not at least worth meeting,
worth more than a well kept secret

— The End —
