Poem
As I bounded down the stairs, I caught you watching me. With blue green eyes, it was the first time I saw you. My mother introduced you as her gay friend from work. She said you could be converted, I wondered why she’d want to. You were only a twenty three year old waiter With mahogany waves of hair draped down your chest. You became a regular at my house, drinking in my living room. So the day you showed up hours early was just like the rest. I sat down beside you as you poured a drink and handed it to me. This was the beginning us, soon you were coming over every day. You let me inside you and told me everything, It made me have to ask How if you had never been with a woman, could you know you’re gay? I’d caught you speechless, a rare thing for you You couldn’t come up with any good reasons Just that it was the first thing you experienced and you liked it You’d only had sex with men. I had only willingly slept with woman. One night, on the couch in your apartment You leaned down to kiss my lips. Everything after became a blur Your body brail beneath my fingertips. We gave ourselves to each other that night For the first time, sex felt safe to me. The beginning of you and I together Another secret we both had to keep. I wanted to experience everything new with you And do everything I had done already, with you there. I felt certain that your presence could make anything better. The world could have been falling down outside, I didn’t care. It was my own fault for seeing you stronger than the others. There are some things I never should have introduced you to. But I was so eager to run away form the pain in my life. So before I took my hit, I emptied the syringe into you. So began another lesson, I wish I had already learned. Unlike me, you refused to come back from your escape. And the more I would try to talk you back to the world The more and more you would take. to be continued....
