"can you blame me?"
he asked
as he grabbed his coat
and slipped out the door.
"no,"
she said to the empty room.
"i know you want her love
as badly
as i want yours."

The moment I think back on
the most
isn't when
                   we learned to samba
                we saw each other naked
              our lips met for the first time
or even when we said I love you.
Its our last night together,
the night we
            played cards with your family
       slept in your twin bed
    couldn't work the DVD player
and took our first bedroom picture.
It was the night when
    I woke up and cried quietly
until you felt my tears on your skin
    You wrapped me up and rocked me back to sleep
    You whispered I'm here over and over again.
Don't you remember, love?
*It was the night before you left (me).

Alone in the room,
my hands are stained
with poetry.
