Loves Regret

I never meant for it too happen
The understanding of who I was
What I was going through
The compassion and care
Your listening ear ….

I was in pain and never saw it coming
the soft caress, of a strong hand
A smile, a kind word and soon
I became undone, looking forward
to that moment of being in your presence again

At what point does simple friendship
become so much more than that
At what point does the gratitude
turn to lust, and the wanting
begins in earnest

It is 6am the sunlight is streaming in
my eyes open from a satiated sleep
A sleep that had not been experienced
in years,
The fear, the dread replaces the joy of the
passion well spent….
