Uncertain Steps
Listen to poem:
What does one express when their once closest departs?
Do they round up the troubles past,
exaggerating the negatives in pursuit of a sense of justice?
Healing process... One might do, I can guess.
Not her, cold-hearted.
I believe she won't encounter difficulties in forgetting what I gave or possessed.
How I miss thee.
"Could you massage my back? I've had a long day."
I haven't done this in years, I said.
"About time you did."
Harmless, right?
Emotions I persuaded myself to abandon
Forever holding the one gone high,
I made a promise.
I do not need man thrills anymore, so I thought.
Dumbfounded.
I have a nice guest, that's all it shall be.
Chocolates, wine, and showers,
perfume fills the air.
Do not give me too much, please.
You'll only get disappointed,
continued kindness.
"You're a tease," will be their comeback.
If they could only see it's far deeper.
I've never lied on knowing what I want...
Nothing.
