read to me

something about it was strange

the way you looked at me

so pensive. perplexed. curious. concerned.

hurt.

is something wrong?

as you drew back, away from me

the shifting weight of your body on top of mine, hot and damp with your sweat

i don't know

you smiled and something in your smile revealed a side of you i have never seen before

let me take care of you

is what you said as you slid your finger inside of me

it felt sharp and painful

why do i feel so far away from you right now?

is what i asked myself and i crossed my arms over my ******* and it confused you, hurt you

i want you

i tried to kiss you but my thoughts were racing

i am so tired

the flickering glow of the candle above your bed gave me solace

i turned my face up towards its light

it was so dark in your bedroom but your face was glowing, smiling at me

i am so sorry, baby

i wish i could tell you why
