Lover Boy
lover, there are things you cannot ask me.
you cannot ask me if i still feel your breath
on my neck in the early morning.
if i still see your face inside the moon.
you cannot get down on your knees, hands
in prayer
head bowed down to a higher power
and ask for forgiveness.
lover, you don't have the right.
you fight dirty, all tooth and nail
bloody and mangled
but only on the inside, darling -
only on the inside.
lastly, lover, you don't get to ask me
why i didn't stay
(you held the door wide open).
