Between The Sheets

I'm so glad I'm pretty between the bedsheets & wasted childhood dreams.



I remember when boys had germs & girlfriends giggled together,

telling eachother silly little secret crushes--where did the bubblegum past go?

Different now; my emerald eyes are alluring & my petite pink lips are made to pucker, or so it is that they wish.

My auburn hair to stroke, as he sails his fingers down my back, counting each shiver that shakes my spine.

My full breasts - now rounded gems, are there refuge to touch, those pretty places that preschool years never taught me to understand -

aren't little boys better than grown up men, who try and erase morality from your mind.
I can hear the whispers between the sheets in his mind, as he hopes one more touch of drink, will sway my senses

and serve his favour, as I throw my feelings on the floor, along with my betrayed clothes.

He thinks paying for the hotel nights & drinks makes up for all the sordid little things he thinks up, in his head where my hands will touch.

I know behind the lines our friendship is blind--98% just want sex and another 1.9% want sex and maybe a little rough time.

My heart feelings like forfeiting further regret.


Then I wish for amnesia, as I know that teasing & taunting, is my only way to get attention--

If I told them all no in a forward sense, my male friends, my protectors, would run away

like dirtied, putrid waters.

But those waters will never be as dirty as what you wish for me to do.

Got inspired by the lyrics. My male friends are attracted to me, or at least most of them that aren't gay or have behavioural problems and even then some, I think. It makes me know that if I just say no to them outright, I'd lose my protection and I'm scared of men and being on my own, so it would be a catch 22.
I know that what they want is a little romp in a hotel room, they don't mind paying for roomservice, as long as I give them some of my own. It hurts, even married men that are my friends want to do this and it sickens me. It makes me feel awful and I wouldn't. I just don't get it. I hate my ex for painting me in that way and I hate the fact I feel dirtied for the things I've done, which mostly were forced onto me or at least pressured.
I don't know. I hope it's ok, but I know it isn't... The poem that is. I know this is wrong, but it's the only way I'm used of these days. So I suppose I use them like they use me?

    Reading this disturbs me (as intended)

    How can the poem not be okay? It seems a poetic expression of your soul, even if it is in a prose-ish form. I like how you phrased this: "those pretty places that preschool years never taught me to understand".

    I understand very well the feelings you depict. Sex and everything surrounding it can be such a dilemma for so many years. We (especially women, but also men) are not taught how to deal with it in responsible, empowering ways, how to explore our emerging sexuality in ways that are safer and esteem-enhancing. I feel for ya, lady.

  • wow cool poem... i loved it..!

    hope you do well!

    -LOVE the starting.

    The third stanza is written with such intellect. I love the way you describe each motion and their complementing emotion. Honestly, excellently written.

    But those waters will never be as dirty as what you wish for me to do.
    -andddd finished with a brilliant end.

    Quote: "Lady Lovely is at my door, She wants a cup of sugar."

    Title: Luckily I've Got My 12 Gage

    LYRICS: " If only tonight we could sleep
    In a bed made of flowers
    If only tonight we could fall
    In a deathless spell

    If only tonight we could slide
    Into deep black water
    And breathe
    And breathe...

    Then an angel would come
    With burning eyes like stars
    And bury us deep
    In his velvet arms

    And the rain would cry
    As our faces slipped away
    And the rain would cry

    Don't let it end.."

    OR

    "A little hurt
    I'm alright
    I'm not gonna wait for you tonight
    I'd rather stay alone
    I'm not gonna wait for you anymore
    Kept waiting too long
    I'm walking away from you tonight
    You actor
    I'm sure that
    I'm not gonna look at you anymore
    The same
    Hang on
    Try not to smile until you die
    Patience, all the patience
    I want you more than ever now "
