Brittney Rhoda-Goode Poet Rhyme

Fill Up the Void

Skin on skin,
Tell me you love me.
You don't have to mean it 
I just need to hear it now.

Naked and lying,
At least I know your trying.
I know it can't be easy, easy
even though I am.

I am trying,
To put forth some emotion
though your feigning  your 
devotion
you don't even know my name.

I've slipped into,
Something sort of numbing
even though I may be coming 
I can't even fake a sigh.

Please just stay,
Please pretend to listen.
These lips I have I swear
are made for so much more 
than kissing.

I can feel, 
My body growing colder
You wink back over your 
shoulder 
And I'm as empty as can be.
