UNWORTHY

 

 

At first I noticed nothing

Beyond the desire to obtain

A few moments

A lifetime

Of needing clothes

Re-arranged

 

Then the sighs

The kisses

The touches

Cease to be the same

The want for nearness

With irritants is replaced

 

I don't understand this man

- Who eventually awakes

Growing cold

 distant

Once a relationship

has taken place.
