the thoughts never go
i realize you are unavailable,
not because you are with someone
your lack of remorse hurts.
i don't desire to stroke your ego
so i merely keep it concealed;
although every time i visit you,
the caterpillars in my stomach develop wings.
your intoxicating chorus
eases my anxious mind;
your tender kiss
absorbed directly into my veins…
but i know i am not the
one who helps you fall asleep,
for i am a man who writes
about heartbroken cries
we as men don't want to hear that ****
for intimacy and emotional exposure is dangerous
and with so much at stake
why would you make your emotional sentiments so public
because of you
you, you, you, you, you
i obviously cannot tell you
so if someone resonates with me
i can feel love from someone, somewhere.
