129


For once,
The skies seemed might fine,
But as always I had turned an eye blind
To the reality of the grey clouds overhead,
The ones that snuck right upon me while in my bed
I seemed to have seen all the light without shadow,
Like a day of squinting into the sun.
And without panic, or uncertainty I walked into the distance
And walked straight off a cliff.


For some reason I trusted you
I gave you everything, and you didn’t even have to persuade it away:
I just let you have it, and then throw it away:
Like stale trash on a summer morning.
You gave me know reason, no sweet talk, no love
But I took you into my heart, invited you into my bed,
I traversed the curves of your body
And I thought it meant intimacy,
But it just meant lust.

Those who love without love: lust for the body
Those who love without love; I personally don’t understand
Those who love without love in return- a mirror before me.


But I thought you were different,
Yet I can’t say I was always a good judge of character.
