Fun at our Expense

364 days ago

I was in your arms

and you were in me

my first voluntary

deceit. We had my

head against the wall

bumping, sheets below

drenched in our scents

I locked my ankles

behind your back

which was smooth

unlike your face

rough and unshaven

for who knows how long

and we were like that

a whole week in August

hiding our lust

behind screens of axe.

334 days later,

I still won't bleed

and I don't know why

I think I wasted a life.
