spaghetti for dinner
After you leave tonight I find myself
crawling across the bed like an explorer
Picking up pillows like they were artifacts of you
Trying desperate to catch your smell
Tonight you asked me to lift my shirt and
show you my belly
You said you wanted to give me raspberry kisses
When you pushed me against the wall
and I told you I liked it, I meant it
I know that lonely people romanticize sometimes
to momentarily relieve the sick feeling
in their guts
We are two lonely people
Two weeks ago you told me you loved me
I laughed
