Insanity
I-N-S-A-N-I-T-Y
Insanity- doing the same thing over and over and over again and expecting different results
The First Time...ended in downpour
a shower of sorts
self-inflicted and long
she rolled off my body like water
her name rolled from my mouth
actually, her name was never in my mouth
I did not swallow it
or rinse with it
it was not exchanged
it just dropped
...like the water
The First Time...started with a call
with nerves
she was all conservative sweater
her clothing did not betray her
sunken in couch
I was all of 16
my words betrayed me
No, maybe I betrayed my words
or maybe my mind betrayed us both
or maybe all betrayed all
each of my personalities lost within another
I was all of 16, pre-downpour
The First Time...was the worst time
sunken in couch to sunken in bed
I was all of 16, I was all of betrayal
She...was all LIBERAL
They say,
in the weakest of moments, the spirit is loosened from the body - a detachment of sorts
in my most sensual of moments, my body was loosened from my spirit
a weakness I guess
the first time ended with me
in a ******
in a trashcan
in a bathroom that was not mine
the first time ended in downpour
~6 years~
The Second Time
#post downpour/ pre-tempest
The Second Time...started with nerves
with a call
with an itch that needed scratching
I already knew the ending
-happy
...then downpour
I was all of grown boy
sunken in couch was a different chapter
sunken in bed was a different chapter
this time, I was the author
...the rest is still unwritten...
