It isnt my skin
or your skin
on my skin
or our bodies separated only by my
t
h
i
n
Underwear
Its not my lustful stare
or the clothes which somehow, between our
half-hearted attempts to watch Sherlock
and that sudden interrupting door knock,
happened to of un-happened
and are no longer there.
Its not my lip bite
or half closed blinds turning early afternoon into night
Its not the kissed lips left slightly swollen
that are gradually winning this heart you jovially claim to of stolen
Its not my laboured breath in your ear
or my nervously eager limbs which you so artfully steer
into bliss.
Its not your perfect kiss
NO
It isnt my skin
or your skin
Its the fact that whilst reading you the great Gatsby I too was
within
and without
simultaneously enchanted and repelled
as the feigned detachment I thought id upheld
became as penetrable as that air
Its not my lustful stare
it was that look in your eyes when you forced me to emerge from my self pity,
and I wracked my brains for anything remotely distracting and witty
and instead came out with the vulnerable truth
and nipped times bud and bloomed like youth
and said I loved you after 3 weeks
Youve made me love my fat cheeks
so, Its not my lip bite, it was that time you hugged me a little too tight
that made me say to hell with patience and to hell with my vulnerability
I enjoy the dull ache of disregarded sensibility
like aching ribs after too much laughter
Its not the kissed lips, its the morning after when I woke wearing my tiredness like worn in shoes
instead of ill-fitting heels
Its not my laboured breath, its your worry when I skip meals,
that made those 3 words elude a dishonest retraction,
And you once dared to ask if it was pure attraction?
