Aftermath

Photo by Wendell Jordan

Your silence was enough to let me

Know that you were hurt

And the tears that dripped within

Your soul made mine bleed.

I wanted to comfort you, but

I couldn’t – so I left you there

Don’t you see that I had to leave

Because, well because I loved you

Too much to have stayed and

Subjected you to my selfish needs

Now-

I stay awake nights longing for

You, wanting to hear some word

I’d even settle for a repeat of that

Night when I left you

Maybe this time I would stay,

Maybe this time I could stay

And subject you to my beautiful

Selfish need to possess you

And maybe you would let me

Rub my chocolate body against

Yours until I felt your soul scream!!
