How can you think to
Embrace him while you
Revel in the possibilities
With other men
Sleep in the memories
Of other boys…
How can you
Marvel in the black magic
Of this new moment
With him?
How can you breathe to
Kiss him while you
Think of what
Making out with Joe would feel like
Or how wild
Sex with Memphis could be…
How can you
Lock lips in silence
Of dark corners
With him?
How can you dare to
Live life while you
Give so much
Merely to please your crotch
Dish out your heart
To the sex-thirsty hounds
How can you
Think in your past
A dirty memory
With him?
How can you give so much away?
…When [he] is waiting…
Author notes
No one likes to admit their fantasies. Even more so to share them with someone who will turn them down. I have not done all of this, yet I've felt dirty enough doing the little I've done. I did throw my heart away.
Written to myself and the girls I know who do this.
