Steadfast Scar

It must be buried under the skin,

what makes your body tremble.

What makes your taste consistent,

just here for me to use.

 

You came on bended broken knees,

spread on top of a rustled bed.

You left with empty breaths,

blushing sweat, and blends of regret.

Your smile speaks so well of you,

but your dignity hides it under covers.

With a twinkle in your eye,

and a flicker of your smile.

Gave me battered pleas,

just to have you pleased.

Crude interpretation of sounds and breaths,

Legs loose with a rug dress.

Working record rhythms of nervous lips,

heavy syllables swaying off those hips.

 

Your hands and wrists like chords,

pressed around my skull and neck,

mangling hair and skin with defect.

And that?

That is the steadfast scar I have,

from loving you.

Although love doesn't pass through here anymore.
