Closing my eyes
I inhale
Your scent
As my lips
Softly sink
Into your
Soft
Whiskery
Face
Transporting me back
To the intimacies
Of stolen moments
Of another life
That wasn’t mine.
Our story flashes through my mind as if dying
Which, of course, it is.
So I grudgingly let go
No last words
Left bereft…
Unable to make a scene
In public
I swallow hard
Blink away a tear
And stare out at nothingness
Thinking
Nothing
Then remembering
The day you crashed into my life
Teasing an ache from me I didn’t know was there.
I wanted to run
Scared
Like a rabbit
But found myself seduced by your intensity and sweetness
Like chocolate
I had to have you
And you willingly gave yourself to me
Like no one else.
Like chocolate
I convinced myself that something that tasted so good couldn’t be bad.
Blinkered
I ignored the signs
When enthusiasm morphed into guilt ridden withdrawal of your affections
Your inner turmoil obvious.
“But you started it!”
The childish voice within admonishes you silently.
So with raw emotions I stumble through my days
My nights
My days
My…
Nights.
