Crawling Out From Under You
Description: This piece deals with lies and deception...really....I am actually
quite serious here.
You are twenty years older than me, yet so captivating, but yesterday is too close
and tomorrow...
full
of
regret,
as I am caught between your deception and the warmth between your thighs.
You know that I am a creature of the wind...
Wild.
Tame.
Free.
But honest.
Your playground is a battlefield where you conquer...defeat...destroy self-respect
with shattered glass and discontent.
I say goodbye with a straight face, although I feel as a ghost; no one will know
about the gashes that will long remain on my spine, or the muddy secrets
concealed within the lines of my hand.
My black eyes silently scream from your indifference, especially when I lie in bed
at night...
alone.
After all, if you don't want me; then, please...
stop climbing on top of me.
