one night you’re there<\/p>\n
there is no answer to where you came from<\/p>\n
hiding in my mind so long and then like<\/p>\n
Athena bursting apon my head<\/p>\n
you stretch, sigh — and change the sheets<\/p>\n
you had given all your love as you sank<\/p>\n
onto the mattress — the body heat buring<\/p>\n
the stale air of the room<\/p>\n
can I breathe?<\/p>\n
what are you doing<\/p>\n
hiding away in those covers when<\/p>\n
I am annoyed?<\/p>\n
do you think you can live that way?<\/p>\n
I am less than… what I am… to you<\/p>\n
so turn, squirm, and groan for the one<\/p>\n
who is not beside you, for there was no<\/p>\n
name left by that creature that just<\/p>\n
crawled out from under moments ago.<\/p>\n
and in the dark of the night<\/p>\n
when my side of the bed is cold<\/p>\n
can you deny that you will find somebody<\/p>\n
to fill that space?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
