Why should I be sad?


Quixotic 
 
She sighs
a few
syllables
at a time.
Just to show him
that even if she
isn't speaking
she has all the right feelings.
(She's a vacant lover for the taking.)

Intuition vibrates in her eardrums;
'Don't take this to heart.”
But his mumbles tickle an,
“I love you more”
across the moon of her jaw.
(They'll never be
in love,
and this is meant to be obvious.)

Synapses squeak a
weak protest and veins pulse
in groans against what she
does and does not know about
an extended love affair that has lost
the element of conquest.

And she takes it on the chin,
a champ with a smirk.
Competing;
Kiss for kiss and
strum for stroke.
Tender touch for each caress,
and a nymph’s sigh for every guttural
moan he (strategically)
lets slide.

She holds her ever tempted tongue.
Hushing words inside her throat,
(hoping to suspend the battle)
as his lips lower toward the
site of this simple
civil war.
(Be vacant and beautiful, silly girl.)

Syllabic sighs
so light
the breeze
could get carried away.
Her heart too tight to arrange letters
into words she’ll never say.
