not just obsessed Poet Free verse

His only man

His clothes are on my back 
my word is in his head 
you thought you felt him move to the other side of the bed 

When he tells you his busy, drowning in overtime 
well my room is his new office and your lips have become mine 

You say it’s been a while and you don’t know where he’s been
perhaps he is just busy, seeing things he’s never seen 

You’ll find us in the darkness 
tracing over each white lie 
you should hear the truth and all his reasons why 
he’s meeting them for coffee, running errands, got dinner plans 
and you just believe him, ice melting in his hand 

I suppose I could be courteous and sit you down face to face 
but he’s coming over and I’ve picked out my best lace 

I know you’re not an angel
you lost that halo long a go 
I don’t think you could fathom 
just how much I know 

So I better go, get ready 
I wouldn’t wait up late 
he’ll be kept busy
he has a lot on his plate 

I know you’re still reading, I know you are a fan 

Sincerely, 
His only man
