The smell of sweat in her
Husband's office hovers.
Heavy loneliness making me
Itch.
You love her, but not like you
Did with mom.
A loop of metal looked
Heavier in person.
I can hear your breathing
In the next room.
You told you just wanted
To say hi.
You closed the door
A quiet thud.
Shadows of his work
Dancing on the walls with
Cars driving by
Outside.
Betrayal like a salty residue
Sinking into my skin.
So thick I can taste it.
I didn't expect this kind of
Desert.
Why did you bring me here?

The smell of sweat in her
Husband's office hovers.
Heavy loneliness making me
Itch.
You love her, but not like you
Did with mom.
A loop of metal looked
Heavier in person.
I can hear your breathing
In the next room.
You told you just wanted
To say hi.
You closed the door
A quiet thud.
Shadows of his work
Dancing on the walls with
Cars driving by
Outside.
Betrayal like a salty residue
Sinking into my skin.
So thick I can taste it.
I didn't expect this kind of
Desert.
Why did you bring me here?
