'
                      I asked
you
                       to make love to me last night,
                      desperate for meaning
                      and searching for more
                      than just another ****.
                      You turned me down
                      and my mood instantly
crumpled
                      though I tried not
                      to let you see.
                      I swallowed the pain,
                      buried it down deep
                      until I could turn my back to you.
                      And though we fell asleep
                      as we always do,
                      you with your arms wrapped around
me,
                      with my face turned away
                      you couldn't see
                      the line of tears dancing their way
                      down my cheeks,
utterly
                      destroyed by being turned away by you.
