I could tell you Exactly what his hands felt like As he wrapped them 'round my throat. I could tell you Exactly what his breath smelt like As he whispered maniacal promises to me. I could tell you Exactly what my fear from him felt like As he pinned me ; ripping at my clothes. I remembered Every detail of his face As if sewn into the surface of my eyes. But Now I remember The first moment I met another And the moment he introduced his wife. Now I remember The first time I felt his hand Gently cradling my face and his wife’s. Now I remember The first night we were together The three of us a knot of perfection. Now I remember The first moment I felt whole For two hearts showed me genuine love. -AnnaRae

Two New Hearts
I could tell you Exactly what his hands felt like As he wrapped them 'round my throat. I could tell you Exactly what his breath smelt like As he whispered maniacal promises to me. I could tell you Exactly what my fear from him felt like As he pinned me ; ripping at my clothes. I remembered Every detail of his face As if sewn into the surface of my eyes. But Now I remember The first moment I met another And the moment he introduced his wife. Now I remember The first time I felt his hand Gently cradling my face and his wife’s. Now I remember The first night we were together The three of us a knot of perfection. Now I remember The first moment I felt whole For two hearts showed me genuine love. -AnnaRae
