Potential Blindfold
She loves him.
He is oxygen to her cellular respiration
When air is as thin as Colorado slopes
And hope hangs in the balance
She is anchored by the vivid image of everything he could be
But will probably never become
Because the world told him what to be
And he listened..
He listened, until your caterwauls for change
Became feint murmurs in the fading abyss
Pseudo love making turns your fist full of intent
Into a weak satisfied open hand
In which he proceeds to fill with more pictures
Pictures of a man, who never was.
How dare you play God?
His will is not with you.
Your forcing A knee bone into his throat
Playing operation
Her desires so deafening
It quiets his vibration of frustration.
The consequence is your heart
Broken
Over
And
Over
His touches are tourniquets that take a little more skin each time.
He is blind to the misery he is passing you.
As his erection falls flaccid
He whispers in her ear
Silent Rome-antics.
She clings to dear
Her back is coated with seeds that never bloom.
Her neck is full of hickies
She has grown numb too
Her legs imbued with weakness as the cycle repeats.
Instead of Walking away,
She asks, “Why me”?
