this is a short freewrite .. originally written on my phone ...
When you tuck that strand of hair behind my ear
And sigh
I look at you with my big brown eyes
Lost in such a tender moment
Silent but for the echoes of rapid breaths
Bouncing off bare walls
Frenzied passion and slow sensuality in equilibrium
If only my name was more than just a whisper
Hushed tones uttered at 3 am
An after thought
Like elderly cans of corned beef left in the cupboards
It satisfies the urge
But never fulfils the soul
I wanted you forever
You are everything
But I am just a consolation prize
In using me you gain back fragments of what you’ve lost
I let you
Because if you leave then I will be empty
And love will become unattainable like the stars
So I let my tears fall silently
And embrace your shadow
