He’d lost his mind Lost his love, she was no more Now without a meaning He buried himself within another’s thighs
Once passionate, caring Now lustful and selfish Escaping his past by becoming a shadow Only socializing in the night, in the sheets
Come the fifteenth He’d perfected it This one was under the command Of his grasp, of his whispered words
But why live this way? He did not care anymore She took his dignity and righteousness with her Now all he lived for was the moment.
Is there a point to feelings? They lie, they die, they fly Far, so far They’ve left the horizon. The sun has set.
Now he’ll do his part Loving with ire, to please the body entire (Maybe the next night will Make the pain go away).
Dipping my toes in the themes of erotica and grief at the same time. I had a sudden instant of inspiration and decided to make this (rather free-form) poem a reality!
